Induction of tryptase and histamine release from human colon mast cells by IgE dependent or independent mechanisms

Table 2 Effects of pertussis toxin and metabolic inhibitors on calcium ionophore induced tryptase and histamine release from colonic mast cells

Treatment		Mediator release (ng/mL)
		Tryptase	Histamine
Untreated		13.8 ± 2.4	34.3 ± 3.4
Pertussis toxin	0.1 μg/mL	4.0 ± 1.6a	2.7 ± 2.8a
	1.0 μg/mL	1.4 ± 1.8a	-0.1 ± 1.3a
Metabolic inhibitors		2.0 ± 1.4a	1.8 ± 2.6a

The values shown aremean±SEMof four separate experiments performed in duplicate.
