Mast cell degranulation impairs pneumococcus clearance in mice via IL-6 dependent and TNF-α independent mechanismsDOI: 10.1016/j.waojou.2019.100028 Keywords: Degranulation, Inflammatory response, Mast cell, Streptococcus pneumoniae Abstract: Mast cells participate in immune responses by releasing potent immune system modifiers via degranulation. Due to currently reported controversial roles of mast cells in Streptococcus pneumoniae infections, this study aimed to determine the role and mechanism of mast cells in clearing S. pneumoniae in mice
