Protease and antiprotease activities were estimated in nasal secretions from patients with
chronic sinusitis
and nasal allergy, using [3H]-casein as substrate. In the purulent nasal secretions, strong protease activity was measured, but there was less activity in the allergic nasal secretions. In contrast, trypsin inhibitory activity in allergic nasal secretions was much higher than in nasal secretions from the patients with
chronic sinusitis
. A protease inhibitor was partially isolated from nasal secretions of the nasal allergic patients by Sephadex G-150 gel chromatography and characterized. This protease inhibitor has an apparent molecular weight of 10,000 D, determined by SDS-polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis. It depresses the activities of bovine pancreatic trypsin, bovine pancreatic
chymotrypsin
and proteases in nasal purulent secretions, whereas it does not inhibit porcine pancreatic elastase, papain, or human plasmin.
