Mast Cell Tryptase

This antibody reacts with mast cells distributed in skin, synovium, lung, and heart. This antibody does not bind with any other cell type. Mast cells contain a number of preformed chemicals mediators such as histamine, chymase, carboxypeptidase, and proteolytic tryptase. Human mast cell tryptase is considered to be an important marker of mast cell activation and is an important mediator of inflammation.
