Abstract
Cytokines and lymphokines have been implicated in having a vital influence on the regulation, maturation, activation, proliferation, and specific functions of mast cells. The intercellular events resulting from mast cell-cytokine interactions are of considerable interest for the understanding and ultimate management of mast cell-associated disease states and for identifying new targets for drug development.
