We recently characterized a heparin-deficient mouse strain generated by targeting the gene for N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase-2 (NDST-2). The NDST-2-/- mice show severe defects in their organization of mast cell (MC) secretory granules, with an almost total absence of the various heparin-binding MC proteases. In the present report we have studied the consequences of heparin/MC protease deficiency for...
