Some have concluded that the absence of mast cells is incompatible with life, at least in humans, because no human conditions have been documented where these cells are absent from the body.

Methods: With carriers of cationic liposomes, decoy-ODNs were transfected into pMΦ cells of rats. Then the inhibiting effects of the decoy-ODNs on tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10 were analyzed. Results: Decoy-ODNs could decrease the expression of TNFα and IL-6 in dose-dependent fashion but had weaker inhibiting effect on IL-10. Conclusions: Decoy-ODNs targeting NF-κB can decrease the expression of inflammatory mediators in pMΦ cells from rats.展开更多
