Abstract

The developmental pattern in experimental rat granuloma tissue and the distribution in the tissues of a few animals (monkey, rabbit, guinea pig anrat) of a peptidase acting on a synthetic collagenase substrate, 4-phenylazobenzyloxycarbonyl-L-Pro-L-Leu-Gly-L-Pro-D-Arg (Pz-peptide) has been studied. Maximum enzyme activity was found in 4-month-old rats and on the fourth day of implantation of the cotton wick. Pz-peptidase appears to have a ubiquitous distribution in animal tissues; the highest enzyme activity was generally found in liver, intestine and kidney of the animals. The total activity in other organs (spleen, heart, lungs and brain) was much less compared to that of liver, intestine or kidney.
