ABSTRACT

Mast cells have effector functions in innate and adaptative response. They can promote allergic inflammation, tissue remodelling and tissue injury, specially because long standing activation. However mast cells can also have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive functions. In fact mast cells can both enhance and later suppress certain features of an immune response. The mast cell response will be highly dependent on the individual biological setting.
