To determine the distribution, tryptase/chymase phenotypes and degranulation of mast cells (MCs) in the dermis of patients with scleroderma, we examined MC density in the skin of 22 patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and 11 with localized scleroderma (LSc). We used antitryptase and antichymase a
The aim of our work was to study the number and distribution of tryptase-and chymase-containing mast cells in benign and malignant breast lesions. Tryptase positivity reflects the total number of mast cells, whereas chymase is not present in all mast cells. Active forms of tryptase and chymase were
