General description

Tryptase is the most abundant secretory granule-derived serine proteinase contained in mast cells. Tryptase has recently been used as a marker for mast cell activation and is involved with allergic response. Tryptase may act as a mitogen for fibroblast lines. Elevated levels of serum tryptase occur in both anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions, but a negative test does not exclude anaphylaxis.

(see product datasheet for specific buffer formulation)

Format: Purified

Quality

Evaluated by western blot on human fetal skin lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 0.5 µg/mL of this antibody detected tryptase in 10 µg of human fetal skin lysate.

Specificity

Recognizes Mast cell tryptase. Will show reactivity to basophils but to a lesser degree.
