Characterization of the mast cell and its involvement in allergic inflammation is the main objective of the research carried out at DPAC, Skejby.

The department has its own laboratory and has developed a technique for generating functional human mast cells from CD133(+)/CD34(+) progenitor cells isolated from peripheral blood and cord blood already within 7 weeks.
