  • In paraffin tissue, the antibody labels mast cells and is most useful in identifying mast cell related diseases

Specimen

  
Tissue

Clinical and Interpretive info

  

If requested, an interpretive report will be provided

  

Specifications:

  • The antibody reacts with human mast cell tryptase, isolated from human lung tissues
  • Tryptase is a protease found in the granules of mast cells, and is a mediator of inflammation
  • Anti-mast cell tryptase labels mast cells in many tissues including respiratory and GI tracts, skin, conjunctiva and brain
  • This antibody does not label basophils

Staining pattern:

  • Cytoplasmic granular staining
