Overview

This work provides clinically and experimentally useful information on the major proteins of mast cell secretory granules that are released into the skin, lung, gut, eye and other tissues under the influence of diverse stimuli-inducing cytokines, growth factors, neuropeptides and allergen-bound immunoglobulin E. It demonstrates the important roles played by proteases in the maintenance of tissue homeostatis as well as in the damaging events linked with allergy and other varieties of inflammation.
