 LATE PHASE
LEUKOCYTES
T -LYMPHOCYTES
 CHRONIC PHASE
T CELLS FACTORS

MAST CELLS
DIFFERENT TYPES OF MAST CELLS
 CHYMASE POSITIVE
 TYPTASE POSITIVE (all mast cells, most
common ocular surface, prevents clotting)
 CHYMASE AND TYPTASE (most
common in non allergic)

calcium
Inside Mast Cells
Increase synthesis of phosopholipase Aproduction of arachodonic acid
 Increase protein kinase productionnecessary for degranulation
 Increase in intracellular calcium levels
 24-48 hours increase cytokine production
