Evidence for in vivo degradation of C3a anaphylatoxin by mast cell chymase. I. Nonspecific activation of rat peritoneal mast cells by C3ades Arg.

The anaphylatoxin C3a (125I-HC3a) is extensively degraded when exposed to isolated rat mast cells (RMC). Degradation occurs without prior stimulation of these cells. The protease responsible for C3a degradation has been identified as chymase. Mixed peritoneal cells, containing equal numbers of mast...
