Hi Talisker...
Here are links to some more recent papers-
Nitric oxide, the endothelial layer, allergic reaction, T-cells, mast cells and their role in MS is a broad topic of investigation- not alot of in vivo research, but lots of mice and blood!

http://www.jimmunol.org/cgi/content/abstract/182/8/4686

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articl ... id=2214744

I second Terry, share your thoughts on this topic.

I was wondering if mast cells are trying to Endocytosis tnf-alpha at neural lessions as I found this article.

http://www.jimmunol.org/cgi/content/full/178/9/5701

Which I think means mast cells can store tnf-alpha. As most research focuses on mast cells as producers of tnf-alpha although other cells can aswell. I have also heard of research interest into tnf-alpha and tace around lession sites.

Also found these articles on tnf-alpha

http://jem.rupress.org/cgi/content/abstract/170/2/607
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articl ... id=1853008
http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/v7/n8/ ... 1120a.html

I also think tnf damages blood vessels at higher levels

http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/56074/

However, this research seems to say tnf-alpha at a certain level is protective but can become harmful at higher levels.

http://www.jneurosci.org/cgi/content/full/28/47/12199

So in summary I was wondering if mast cells regulate tnf-alpha in the inter cellular space and if so does it work in MS'ers
