A fine structure study of some cellular components in allergic reactions 1. Degranulation of human mast cells in allergic asthma and perennial rhinitis

Tissues from patients with allergic asthma or perennial rhinitis have been examined and normal mast cell ultrastructure described. Degranulating mast cells are shown in nasal and bronchiolar tissue, with attention focused on granules, microfilaments and labyrinth and pore formations.
