Initiate Swelling of tissue when exposed to an ‘allergen’.
A
Adipose Cells
B
Mast Cells
C
Mesenchymal Cells
D
Lymphocyte Cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mast cells release histamine as well as other vasoactive molecules, which cause urticaria (hives). If the antigen activates mast cells in deeper tissue, this can lead to angioedema. If the response is prolonged, atopic dermatitis or eczema may occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most commonly the receptors on the mast cells are TLRs and receptors for complement. Once the antigen binds to the receptors on the mast cell, it causes the release of inflammatory mediators, which helps to eliminate the pathogen that activated it.
