Proteases of Human Leukocytes L. A. MOUNTER 1 and WASFI ATIYEH 1 1 Department of Biophysics, Medical College of Virginia, Richmond, Va. Cell extracts possessing considerable proteolytic activity have been obtained from human leukocytes by ultrasonic breakdown or by treatment with surface active agents. Three proteolytic enzymes are present; one with an optimum at approximately pH 8 is inhibited by organophosphorus compounds and resembles chymotrypsin. This enzyme is derived from polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Lymphocytes contain two proteases with pH optima of 3.0 and 5.5, respectively.
