Abstract
Summary The present study indicates that significant morphological changes in mast cell size, shape, and granule size can occur following conventional fixation, and that these fixed cells are also particularly prone to damage by mechanical manipulations inherent in standard histological techniques. In all cases where mast cell degranulation has been described, these factors deserve serious consideration to differentiate fact from artifact.
