It is a major prostaglandin produced by mast cells â recruits Th2 cells, eosinophils, and basophils.In mammalian organs, large amounts of PGD 2 are found only in the brain and in mast cells. It is critical to development of allergic diseases such as asthma.t is a major prostaglandin produced by mast cells â recruits Th2 cells, eosinophils, and basophils.
