IgE immune complexes stimulate an increase in lung mast cell progenitors in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation.

Mast cell numbers and allergen specific IgE are increased in the lungs of patients with allergic asthma and this can be reproduced in mouse models. The increased number of mast cells is likely due to recruitment of mast cell progenitors that mature in situ. We hypothesized that formation of IgE immu...
