From: Mast cells in a murine lung ischemia-reperfusion model of primary graft dysfunction
Comparison of lung responses to ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice with and without parenchymal mastocytosis induced in KitW-sh/W-shby injection with BMCMC (n = 5 per group). Left lungs were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion, while right lungs were unligated controls. Adoptive transfer of mast cells did not change the quantity of (A) lung water in the ischemic (P = 0.09) or contralateral (P = 0.23) lungs, nor did mast cells affect the extravascular plasma equivalents (B) in ischemic (P = 0.56) or contralateral (P = 0.06) lungs.
