Mast Cell Tryptase

Mast cells are the key effector cells in allergenic responses. When stimulated by a specific allergen they release a number of mediators of inflammation, amongst which is tryptase. This has been shown to act on specific extra-cellular proteins and peptides and to alter the behaviour of various cell types. Inhibitors of mast cell tryptase have been shown to be effective in the treatment of asthma . Tryptase is released into the circulation after a patient suffers an anaphylactic reaction caused by drugs, insect venom or food. Measurements of tryptase help identify and assess the extent of the reaction.
