Ultrastructure of Mast Cells and Basophils

Ann M Dvorak

Reviews the ultrastructural studies of basophils and mast cells. These studies include the use of ultrastructural rules that allow identification of basophils and mast cells. A number of standard ultrastructural imaging methods are described which define the subcellular locations of chymase, Charcot-Leyden crystal protein, histamine, and heparin.
