Mast cell activation mechanisms
• They express several hundred thousand high affinity receptors for IgE (FceR1) and thus respond to IgE-directed antigens
• Express the pathogen-recognizing Toll-like receptors (TLRs) which probably account for the ability of mast cells to mount an effective innate immune
response
