The in vivo relevance and biological importance of in vitro observations about mast cell function, as well as the contributions of mast cells towards the expression of particular biological responses (such as various models of anaphylaxis) in vivo, can be assessed using c-kit mutant mice (e.g., WBB6Fi-FCit or mice) that virtually lack mast cell populations. Mice with mutations of c-kit [6,11] or mutations that affect KIT expression [12-14] have other abnormalities of phenotype besides a mast cell deficiency. However, the mast cell deficiency of these mice can be selectively repaired by the adoptive transfer of genetically compatible, in vitro-derived...
