Two types of human mast cells that have distinct neutral protease compositions.
Open accessAbstract
Two human mast cell types were identified by immunohistochemical techniques in skin, lung, and small intestine. One type contains the neutral proteases, tryptase and chymotryptic proteinase, and is termed the TC mast cell. The second type contains only tryptase and is termed the T mast cell. Both types are fixed better by Carnoy's fluid than by formalin. The percentage of mast cells accounted for by the T type was 12 in skin; 98 in mucosa and 13 in submucosa of small intestine; and 77 in bronchial/bronchiolar subepithelium, about 97 in bronchial/bronchiolar epithelium, and 93 in alveoli of lung. Dispersed lung cells contained 90% T mast cells. The mean area of TC mast cells (76 micron2) was slightly larger than that of T mast cells (66 micron2); however, there was such extensive overlap that individual mast cells belonging to different types could not be distinguished on the basis of size. The recognition of human mast cell types with distinct protease compositions suggests a higher level of complexity of human mast cell-mediated reactions than heretofore appreciated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
