The Use of Microelectrode Array (MEA) to Study Rat Peritoneal Mast Cell Activation

We performed this study to demonstrate the applicability of the microelectrode array (MEA) to study electrophysiological changes of rat peritoneal mast cells in the presence of compound 48/80 under normal, Ca2+-free, Ca2+-free with EDTA, and Cl−-free conditions. The use of high extracellular K+ (KCl...
