Nective tissues and gastrointestinal mucosa. (3) Mast cells are not of the myeloid or lymphoid lineage and take an independent path in their differentiation from HSCs. Importantly, the degranulation of mast cells and basophils is associated with hypersensitivity and allergy (see Ch. 18). IV. DENDRITIC CELLS V. MAST CELLS Mast cells are important for defense against worms and other parasites. Mast cells resemble basophils in that they contain basic-staining cytoplasmic granules that harbor an array of pro-inflammatory substances.

Should the pathogen thwart innate immunity, the third and final phase of host defense is mediated by the lymphocytes of the adaptive response. T and B lympho- 0-4 hrs 4-96 hrs > 96 hrs 1 cytes specifically recognize components of a particular pathogen, proliferate, and differentiate into large numbers of daughter effector cells that eliminate the pathogen via humoral and cell-mediated mechanisms. Because it takes time for clonally selected lymphocytes to be activated and respond to a persistent threat, adaptive responses are not usually observed until at least 96 hours after the initial infection.
