Cutaneous manifestations in Hymenoptera and Diptera anaphylaxis: relationship with basal serum tryptase [PDF]
ObjectivesTo compare the clinical presentation of systemic anaphylaxis to Hymenoptera and Diptera with regard to basal serum tryptase (BT) and to evaluate mastocytosis in patients with elevated tryptase.

The fight of innate immunity and abnormal cannabinoids against Candida infection
Candida species represent the most clinically significant fungal pathogens in humans, with invasive candidiasis carrying a mortality of 30%–40% in critically ill patients despite modern antifungal therapy. The innate immune system – through the coordinated and specific activities of neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells, mast cells and eosinophils ...

Immunostaining of ERM for tryptase and chymase.
The ERM stained weakly positive for both tryptase and chymase, and double-positive cells for tryptase and chymase were sparsely obtained.

Involvement of premacular mast cells in the pathogenesis of macular diseases.
We previously reported on the elevated intravitreal activities of tryptase and chymase in association with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) and idiopathic macular hole (MH).

A case of an elevated tryptase
Introduction: Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia (HαT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by an elevated baseline tryptase that occurs up to 3% of the population and clinically resembles mast cell activation syndrome. Case description: A full-term,

Mast cells contain large amounts of proteases stored within their secretory granules. Previously we showed that one of these proteases, tryptase, in addition to its location within granules, can also be found within the mast cell nucleus, where it has ...

Tryptase locus variation explains normal‐range baseline serum tryptase differences and is associated with Hymenoptera venom anaphylaxis, independent of clonal mast cell disease and HαT. ABSTRACT Background Increased basal serum tryptase level (BST) is associated with anaphylaxis.

Co-localization of tryptase and cathepsin-G in mast cells in cutaneous mastocytosis
Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous disease characterized by an abnormal growth and/or accumulation of clonal mast cells (MC) in one or more organs. The most frequent site of organ involvement is the skin.

Mast cell tryptase induces nuclear remodelling and reduced growth in breast cancer cells
Mast cells accumulate in breast cancer, but there is only limited knowledge of how they impact on breast cancer growth. Here we show that tryptase, a major compound stored in mast cell secretory granules, has profound effects on breast cancer cell ...

ABSTRACT Eosinophilia, defined as an absolute eosinophil count (AEC) of ≥ 0.5 × 109/L, is a frequently encountered finding with a vast spectrum of potential underlying etiologies. Hypereosinophilia (HE) is defined as AEC > 1.5 × 109/L and may become life‐threatening when eosinophil‐induced organ damage occurs, defining the hypereosinophilic syndrome ...
