Silica-Directed Mast Cell Activation Is Enhanced by Scavenger Receptors

Inhalation of crystalline silica results in pulmonary fibrosis and silicosis. It has been suggested that mast cells play a role in these conditions. How mast cells would influence pathology is unknown. We thus explored mast cell interactions with silica in vitro and in B6.Cg-kit(W-sh) mast cell–defi...
