<p>Mast cells are involved in the inflammatory response and play a key part in anaphylaxis.</p>
<p>IgE released by plasma cells in response to antigens bind to F<sub>C</sub> receptors on the mast cell surface. This stimulates the mast cells to degranulate. The granule contents cause blood vessel permeability to increase and, along with chemotactic factors, this enhances the migration of other leukocytes to the area. The production of angiotensin II by chymase causes systemic vasoconstriction in response to vascular damage.</p>
