MC indicates mast cell; ISM, indolent SM; CLL, chronic lymphatic leukemia; SSM smoldering SM; ASM, aggressive SM; and MCL, mast cell leukemia.

IHC staining results for Lyn, p-LynTyr507, p-LynTyr396, Btk, and p-BtkTyr551 were generated on serial sections stained with Abs directed against these signaling molecules and an Ab against tryptase. Score of reactivity in IHC stains: + indicates positive; ±, weak reactivity; −, negative stain; and nt, not tested.
