A function for tissue mast cells.

Experimental elimination of mast cells from the peritoneal tissues of the rat by distilled water treatment inhibited the increase of vascular permeability which normally follows a passively induced antigen-antibody reaction in peritoneal tissue. Thus mast cells may contribute to the initiation of inflammation which follows antigen-antibody reactions.
