Abstract
Acid aspiration causes pulmonary vascular permeability and PMN sequestratio n. By increasing pulmonary mast cells through adoptive transfer of v-abl-tr ansformed mast cells (V3MCs) into BALB/c mice, we now show that the greater mast cell number in the lung is associated with increased pulmonary injury .
