Human tryptase is a serine protease expressed in mast-cells. We previously observed that AML blast cells, cultured in vitro from a KIT D816Y patient, give rise to adherent cells with mast-cell like phenotype and tryptase was released in the serum-free medium. To correlate total serum tryptase (ts...
