From: Isolation and characterization of hepatic mast cells from cholestatic rats

Evaluation of secretions released from mast cells by EIA. Isolated mast cells were incubated with T-stim to induce degranulation prior to the evaluation of histamine and VEGF-A. (a) Histamine release is increased in isolated mast cells stimulated with T-stim compared with un-stimulated cells, whereas (b) VEGF-A levels are unchanged. Data are represented as mean±s.e. of 12 experiments. *P<0.05 versus –T-stim. EIA, enzyme immuno-linked assay.
