Visualization of the reaction product was achieved with the diaminobenzidine-H,02 reaction, as previously described.’6 Mast cells were identified by the presence of alcian blue-positive granules in the cytoplasm, and the incorporation of BrdUrd was recognized by the presence of dark brown granules on the nucleus.

M, 5, and T cannot be distinguished by morphological methods. The presence of differentiated mast cells (with or without proliferation potential) appears to suppress the invasion of L-CFU-Mast from the bloodstream to the peritoneal cavity (arrow 1 ) and the differentiation of L-CFU-Mast to M-CFU-Mast (arrow 2).
