Abstract excerpt
Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is characterized by the abnormal proliferation and accumulation of mast cells (MCs). Constitutive activation of kit, a receptor tyrosine kinase (TK), has been associated with all types of SM. Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs), such as STAT5, mediate downstream kit signalling. We hypothesized that nuclear phospho-STAT5 (pSTAT5) in MCs might reflect TK activation...
