Abstract
The intracellular pH of rat peritoneal mast cells was slightly acidic and compound 48/80 induced a decrease in the cytoplasmic pH of these cells. By means of chemical skinning, it was revealed that perfusion with Ca2+ or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) induced degranulation dose-dependently in mast cells at concentrations higher than 10 μM and 0.1 μM, respectively. Na+ was essential for the release of histamine from mast cells. An assay based on the binding of45Ca to mast cell fragments revealed that the intracellular Ca store of the mast cell is located in the endoplasmic reticulum. IP3 liberated Ca from the endoplasmic reticulum.
