1. Cutting Edge – Cleavage Specificity and Biochemical Characterization of Mast Cell Serine Proteases
Abstract : It is well established that mast cells (MC) are key players in airway pathologies such as allergic asthma, but they are also known to contribute to host defense and tissue remodeling. MC serine proteases are the major protein components of mast cell granules and accordingly, are most likely involved in many aspects of MC function. READ MORE

2. Mast Cells as Sentinels : Role of serglycin and mast cell proteases in infection and inflammation
Abstract : Mast cells (MCs), normally classified into connective tissue MCs and mucosal MCs, are highly granulated cells found in the interface between the interior and the exterior environment of our body, e.g. skin, airways and gastro-intestinal tract. READ MORE

3. Neutral proteases of rodent mast cells
Abstract : Mast cells are important effector cells in general as well as in allergic inflammation andin the defence against helminthic parasites and bacteria. Two major populations, withdifferences in tissue distribution, have been identified; connective tissue mast cells andmucosal mast cells. READ MORE

4. Chymotrypsin/trypsin-related serine proteases : A structural, functional and evolutionary analysis
Abstract : Is life possible without proteolytic enzymes? Proteases participate in almost everyaspect of life and they can be found throughout the body and in every cell. Mast cells,together with basophils are, two important effector cells of the immune system. READ MORE
