Abstract

Mast cells are constitutively present at the portals between self and nonself, and contain a large and diverse complement of proinflammatory mediators. These characteristics suggest that the activation of mast cells must be carefully regulated in vivo. Regulation of pathologic and physiologic mast cell activation has been traditionally associated simply with the presence or absence of an activating signal. We examine here evidence supporting a new paradigm: mast cell homeostasis may result from inhibition of activation mediated by receptors on the surface of mast cells, typified by a member of the gp49 family.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
