Abstract:
To increase the efficiency of interpretation of mast cell's contribution to the state of a specific tissue microenvironment, it is necessary to detail the molecular composition of their secretome and analyze the pathways of degranulation. Developed method of combining immunomorphological and histochemical staining protocols contributes to the most objective detection of the integral level of tryptase expression in the intraorgan population of the skin mast cells. Novel technique for tryptase detection expands the possibilities of morphological analysis, provides researchers with additional data on the structure of the mast cell population and helps visualize the processing and cytological features and structural targets of tryptase during the development of adaptive and pathological reactions. Objective determination of the tryptase profile for organ-specific mast cell populations is in great demand in clinical practice for the interpretation of pathological processes, including inflammation and oncogenesis.
