The 21 pages that link to Mast cell, each with the reason it gives.

• AnaphylaxisRelated: Mast cells release histamine and other mediators during many anaphylactic reactions.

• Allergic rhinitisRelated: Mast cells release histamine after allergen cross-links their surface-bound IgE.

• HistamineRelated: Mast cells are a major source of rapidly released histamine in allergic reactions.

• Food allergyRelated: Food allergens cross-link IgE on mast cells, prompting release of histamine and other mediators.

• AllergyRelated: IgE activation on mast cells releases chemicals that produce many allergy symptoms.

• Histamine H1 receptorRelated: Mast-cell histamine release supplies a major signal for H1-mediated allergy symptoms.

• AntihistamineRelated: Mast-cell histamine release helps produce the symptoms treated by H1 antihistamines.

• UrticariaRelated: Mast-cell mediator release drives the skin changes in most urticaria.

• AngioedemaRelated: Mast-cell mediators cause the rapid vascular leakage seen in many allergic episodes.

• AllergenRelated: Allergen-cross-linked IgE on mast cells prompts mediator release.

• Immunoglobulin ERelated: IgE cross-linking activates mast cells, releasing mediators that produce allergic symptoms.

• EosinophilCompared with: Mast cells and eosinophils interact in allergic tissues but differ in location and granule contents.

• Drug allergyRelated: Mast-cell activation produces symptoms such as hives, swelling, and wheezing.

• Latex allergyRelated: IgE-bound mast cells drive many immediate symptoms after latex exposure.

• Peanut allergyRelated: Mast cells release histamine and other mediators during many immediate peanut reactions.

• Anaphylactic shockRelated: Mast-cell activation releases mediators that drive vasodilation and vascular leakage.

• Cat allergyRelated: IgE-bound mast cells release mediators after encountering cat allergens.

• MastocytosisNarrower topic: Mastocytosis involves abnormal accumulation of this cell type.

• HivesRelated: Mast-cell activation commonly releases the mediators that produce hives.

• Charles RichetRelated: Mast-cell mediator release helps explain the rapid physiological effects of anaphylaxis.

• Connective tissue cellsBroader topic: Mast cells are common connective-tissue residents that rapidly alter local inflammation.
