Ultrastructural studies of human mast cells (HMCs) and basophils (HBs) are reviewed. Sources of HMCs include biopsies of tissue sites and in situ study of excised diseased organs; isolated, partially purified samples from excised organs; and growth-factor-stimulated mast cells that develop de novo in cultures of cord blood cells. Sources of HBs for study include partially purified peripheral blood basophils, basophils in tissue biopsies, and specific growth factor-stimulated basophils arising de novo from cord blood cells. The ultrastructural studies reviewed deal with identity, secretion, vesicles, recovery, and synthesis issues related to the biology of these similar cells.

Enzymatic properties of a canine cardiac muscle microsomal fraction were determined to localize in situ a "basic," divalent cation dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) by ultrastructural cytochemistry. The microsomal fraction had a buoyant density of 1.08--1.13 (20--30% [w/w] sucrose) and hydrolyzed adenosine triphosphate in the presence of Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, or Co2+, but not in that of Sr2+ or Ni2+, under conditions that inhibited interfering (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase activities. "Basic" ATPase was localized in paraformaldehyde-fixed tissue in a medium containing Mg2+ or a high Ca2+ concentration (4 mM). A free Pb2+ concentration of less than 1 microM was used to capture enzymatically released phosphate anions. Electron-dense lead precipitates were present at the plasmalemma, T-system, and intercalated disc membranes with the exception of the nexus. These studies suggest that "basic" ATPase activity is associated with surface membrane structures of canine cardiac muscle.
