pubmed:abstractText |
Human eosinophils contain several distinctive proteins including eosinophil granule MBP and the membrane-associated CLC protein (lysophospholipase). Human basophils also contain these proteins, indicating biochemical similarities between eosinophils and basophils. To determine whether MBP or CLC protein is present in connective tissue mast cells, we studied human lung and cutaneous mast cells by immunofluorescence by utilizing specific antibodies to CLC and MBP. Cytocentrifuge slides of enriched lung mast cells and mast cells in sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cutaneous tissue from urticaria pigmentosa lesions were stained for CLC and MBP. Neither pulmonary nor cutaneous mast cells stained for CLC protein or MBP. In contrast, lung and cutaneous eosinophils in the same preparations showed bright staining for both proteins. The failure to find CLC protein and MBP in mast cells provides additional evidence of dissimilarity between mast cells and basophils, and an immunochemical means to distinguish between them.
