“…Mouse bone marrow stem cell-derived mast cells (mBMMCs) were prepared and cultured as previously described (29,30). Briefly, mouse bone marrow stem cells were isolated from the femur and tibia of 6∼8-week-old mice, and cultured to a final density of 1 × 10 6 cells/ml in Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium (IMDM) (Gibco) supplemented with L-glutamine (2 mM, Sigma), heat inactivated fetal calf serum (10%, Gibco), penicillin (100 IU/ml, Sigma), streptomycin (100 μg/ml, Sigma), murine stem cell factor (SCF) (30 ng/ml, Peprotech), and IL-3 (30 ng/ml, Peprotech) at 37℃, in 5% (v/v) CO 2 air with 95% humidity.…”
