Abstract

Mast cells play a central role in allergic diseases, following activation by means of immunologic mechanisms. Mast cell degranulation releases preformed and newly generated mediators and potential indicators of mast cell activation. Tryptase is the most useful marker of selective mast cell activation with regard to specific pathological states in which it can be applied with positive results, especially allergic diseases.
