    Abstract: Tryptase is a serine protease that is expressed in leukemic cells of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients and in blasts of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Tryptase may be useful for diagnosis, assessment of severity of disease (leukemic cell burden), monitoring minimal residual disease and prognosis of AML and CML patients. The main objec... Show More
