Mast cells play a key role in the inflammatory process. When activated, a mast cell can either selectively release (piecemeal degranulation) or rapidly release (anaphylactic degranulation) mediators, or compounds that induce inflammation, from storage granules into the local microenvironment.
Although mast cells are best known for their role in mediating allergic diseases, recent studies have highlighted the important role that these cells play in the protection against infection with a variety of organisms. Mast cells are leukocytes that are derived from haematopoietic progenitor cells. They circulate in the blood in an immature form before migrating to vascularised tissues, where they undergo final differentiation and maturation with the help of stem-cell factor and other cytokines secreted by endothelial cells and fibroblasts.
