In BALB\/c mice, MC lineage cells expressing high levels of Fc\u03b5RI by flow cytometry were seen only in bone marrow whereas those expressing intermediate levels of Fc\u03b5RI were present in bone marrow and spleen of naive mice and in mesenteric lymph nodes (mLN) of Trichinella spiralis\u2013infected mice. These Fc\u03b5RI+KIT+CD49b\u2212 cells had a membrane phenotype similar to i.p. connective tissue-type MC, but were smaller and hypogranular by flow cytometry forward and side scatter profiles, respectively. Consistent with this, they lacked the prominent secretory granules identified by histochemistry and immunodetection for the MC-specific granule proteases that are readily seen in mature jejunal mucosal MC that also are induced by the infection and present at the same time. The concentration of these MC lineage cells in mLN determined by flow cytometry was comparable to that of MC progenitors (MCp) measured by limiting dilution and clonal expansion with maturation. We observed upregulation of IL-4 transcription by MCp in mLN and spleens of helminth-infected 4get mice, and we demonstrated by intracellular cytokine staining production of IL-4 and IL-6 by the mLN MCp in helminth-infected mice. Furthermore, treatment of helminth-infected mice with anti-Fc\u03b5RI mAb, a protocol known to deplete basophils, also depleted mLN MCp. Thus, this study identifies a hypogranular subset of MCp recruited to mLN by helminth infection that may be an important unrecognized source of cytokines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1202567","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,15]],"date-time":"2013-01-15T04:54:28Z","timestamp":1358225668000},"page":"1758-1766","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Mast Cells Recruited to Mesenteric Lymph Nodes during Helminth Infection Remain Hypogranular and Produce IL-4 and IL-6"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"190","author":[{"given":"Anne Y","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan F","family":"Dwyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatiana G","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lora G","family":"Bankova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shiliang","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Howard R","family":"Katz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K Frank","family":"Austen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael F","family":"Gurish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA 02115"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025032406332224700_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"233","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022149X00008002","article-title":"Prolonged expulsion of adult Trichinella spiralis and eosinophil infiltration in mast cell-deficient W\/Wv mice","volume":"59","author":"Kamiya","year":"1985","journal-title":"J.
