Human skin mast cells proliferated in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4+SCF (expanding 18-fold in 8 weeks) and acquired profound responsiveness towards high affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RI) cross-linking, liberating about 75% of their histamine. In a proof-of-concept, we found that these cells are useful for pharmacological testing. Even a subtle inhibition of degranulation can be visualized. This model might prove valuable in tests of novel anti-allergic drugs.
