Abstract

ATPase activity in rat mast cells was studied, assuming that pleural and peritoneal mast cells are different populations.Mast cells were purified with Percoll.Enzymatic activity was found to be 36% higher in pleural cells that in peritoneal cells.Moreover, for both populations results show a Na+-K+ ATPase activity either low or slightly inhibited by ouabain.
