Reaction mixtures of increasing amounts of the pancreatic homologous proteases, anodal and cathodal chymotrypsin and trypsin, respectively, and normal rat serum were analyzed by immunoelectrophoretic methods in order to determine their distribution on serum protease inhibitors. This paper concerns three proteins occurring in normal serum and capable of binding protease viz. alpha1-macroglobulin, alpha1-antitrypsin and alpha1-inhibitor 3. The distribution of the enzymes among these protease inhibitors differed significantly from one protease to another. The distribution of the proteases among the serum protease inhibitors following intravenous injection of 125I-labelled proteases corresponded to that in vitro. Complexes formed with alpha1-macroglobulin and alpha1-inhibitor 3 were quickly eliminated irrespective of the enzyme species used, whereas those formed with alpha1-antitrypsin persisted much longer in the circulation.

Large and small plaque variants of A12 foot-and-mouth disease virus were shown to have specific antigenic determinants. Large plaque virus antigenic specificity was destroyed by trypsin treatment, but the small plaque antigen was resistant despite cleavage of the trypsin-sensitive polypeptide. The cleavage of polypeptide VP3 by trypsin resulted in the formation of a new antigen not present on untreated virus. The effects of chymotrypsin and trypsin on the polypeptides of the plaque variants have been examined and related to changes in antigenicity, infectivity, and exposure of the polypeptides at the surface of the capsid. The results are discussed in relation to the orientation of the trypsin-sensitive polypeptide in the virus capsid.

The technique of proteolytic digestion employing the enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and protease was used to investigate the physical order of subtypic determinants occurring on bovine erythrocytes. In the B system subgroup Y1, Y2, the determinants behaved as if linearly arranged in the same order as predicted from their serological behavior; furthermore, the differences between the two subtypes appeared to be quantitative rather than qualitative. In the E'1, E'2, E'3 subgroup, however, the subtypic determinants did not appear to be physically linear, although they are serologically linear.

Crossed immunoelectrophoresis of rat serum demonstrated considerably increased serum concentrations of at least ten different proteins during turpentine-induced inflammation. One protein, which moved during electrophoresis like an alpha 1 globulin, showed a particularly large increase. This protein was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Sephadex G-100, and concanavalin A-Sepharose, and finally disc electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. It has a molecular weight of 56,000 determined by equilibrium ultracentrifugation. An apparent molecular weight of 68,000 was estimated for the reduced protein by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel plus sodium dodecyl sulfate, suggesting that the native protein is composed of a single polypeptide chain. It has an E2801%, 1 cm of 5.2, an isoelectric pH of 4.7, and contains 19% carbohydrate. The protein does not inhibit bovine trypsin or chymotrypsin. Its physical properties and amino acid composition distinguish this protein from all other rat serum proteins hitherto characterized. During acute inflammation, induced 25 h previously, rats incorporated 20 times more [14C]leucine into this particular protein than did normal rats. However, incorporation into total serum protein during acute inflammation increased only slightly. Regardless of whether inflammation was induced by surgical injury or by a subcutaneous turpentine injection, within 48 h the serum concentration of this major acute-phase protein rose from the normal value of 0.46 g/liter to a maximum value of 7.2 g/liter, which constituted 10% of the total serum protein.

Characterization of the trypsin-, chymotrypsin- and elastase-inhibiting properties of porcine serum was carried out by gel filtration on Ultrogel, AcA 44, and agarose gel electrophoresis with subsequent processing for protease-inhibiting activity. Moreover, by allowing the fractions obtained from gel filtration to react with antibodies to porcine serum protease inhibitors, the specific inhibiting properties of these inhibitor molecules were identified. At least six protease inhibitors were identified and partially characterized in porcine serum. Two alpha 2 -macroglobulins (alpha 2 Mf and alpha 2 Ms), homologues to human alpha 2 -macroglobulin, with slightly different electrophoretic mobilities, were both found to exhibit trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase inhibiting activity. Alpha 1 -Protease inhibitor (Mr 51 000), a homologue to human alpha 1 -protease inhibitor (alpha 1 -antitrypsin), also showed trypsin-, chymotrypsin- and elastase-inhibiting properties. Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (Mr 162 000 and 129000), a porcine serum counterpart to human inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor, showed trypsin- and chymo-trypsin-inhibiting properties. In addition, a specific trypsin inhibitor, alpha 2 -antigrypsin (Mr 58 000), and a specific elastase inhibitor, beta-elastase inhibitor, were characterized in porcine serum, and these seem to have no counterparts in human serum.

Swiss mouse 3T3 cells and rat liver-derived RLCW cells were grown in monolayers and perfused with culture medium. A flow-rate dependent increase in the growth rate was observed both by 3H-thymidine uptake and by a rise in cell numbers. The characteristics of the response were dependent on the recirculating volume and on whether serum was present in the culture medium. In RLC cultures perfused with serum-supplemented medium the growth promoting effect decreased with increasing density of the cells. In the absence of serum, recirculation of NCTC medium had no effect on RLCs but increased growth was observed in recirculated MEM. In 3T3 cultures, a linear response was observed over a limited density range in the presence of 10% serum-supplemented medium indicating that substances present in the serum substantially modify the behaviour of the monolayer to perfusion. In serum-free medium the effect of perfusion on 3T3 cultures was confined to a small density range and was consistent with the more rapid removal of a diffusible inhibitor from the pericellular environment by recirculating the medium. Treatment of the perfusing medium with immobilised proteinases (trypsin, chymotrypsin, protease) did not alter the response except in the presence of putrescine.

The amino acid sequence of staphylococcal protease has been determined by analysis of tryptic peptides obtained from cyanogen bromide fragments. Selected peptides obtained from digests with staphylococcal protease, thermolysin, and chymotrypsin provided the information necessary to align the tryptic peptides and the cyanogen bromide fragments. The protease is a single polypeptide chain of some 250 amino acids and is devoid of sulfhydryl groups. The COOH-terminal tryptic peptide of of the protease molecule contains some 43 residues, most of which are aspartic acids, asparagines, and prolines. The amino acid sequence of this peptide was not determined. The primary structure near the active serine residue indicates that staphylococcal protease is related to the pancreatic serine proteases. However, it has little or no additional sequence homologies with these enzymes except for the regions near histidine-50 and aspartic acid - 91. These regions have striking similarities with the corresponding regions of protease B and the trypsin-like enzyme of Streptomyces griseus.

The Rho(D) antigen of red cell membranes was solubilized using ethylene-diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 2-mercaptoethanol. The solubilized antigen was partially separated from other solubilized membrane components using molecular filtration. The antigen was treated with various enzymes to learn some of the chemical characteristics. It was found that the activity of the antigen, as measured by hemagglutination inhibition, was not affected by bee venom phospholipase A, Clostridium welchii phospholipase C, calf-intestinal alkaline phosphatase, Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase, pig kidney leucine aminopeptidase, bovine pancreatic carboxypeptidase A, and pig pancreatic carboxypeptidase B. However, the proteolytic enzymes, pronase, trypsin, chymotrypsin and papain, did destroy Rho(D) activity as measured by hemagglutination inhibition. These results indicate that protein is an important part of the active determinant of the Rho(D) antigen. The experiments by other investigators have shown that lipid is important to maintain the Rho(D) activity in the intact membrane; lipid probably helps to maintain the structural conformation of the Rho(D) molecule in its natural environment. The solubilized Rho(D) molecules are apparently not dependent on lipid for their Rho(D) activity.

Tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) obtained from the filtrate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was hydrolysed with proteinase, trypsin, or chymotrypsin. Each hydrolysate consisted of a tuberculin peptides mixture (TPM). From each TPM 16 fractions were obtained by ion-exchange chromatography on Dowex 50W-X8 but only one fraction was isolated from each of the 16 fractions which showed tuberculin activity in guinea pigs sensitized with M. bovis (bcg) or M. tuberculosis. This fraction was designated "purified tuberculin peptide" (PTP). The PTP fraction from the proteinase hydrolysate (PTP-proteinase) was rechromatographed on Dowex 1-X2 and two tuberculin peptide fractions having molecular weights of 3200 and 12,000 were isolated. The potency of these two fractions was assessed in guinea pigs sensitized with M. bovis (BCG) and with M. tuberculosis and they were approximately 4 to 7 times more potent than either the international standaCG and of at least equal potency to either PPD-S or Connaught PPD in guinea pigs sensitized with either M. kansasii, M. scrofulaceum, M. intracellulare, or M. avium whereas very little if any cross-reactivity was elicited by these two fractions. This lack of response indicates that either fraction could be used as an aid to differentiate between sensitization due to M. tuberculosis or M. bovis and sensitization attributed to other mycobacteria.

The trypsin inhibitor of bovine colostrum was isolated by affinity chromatography, and impurities removed by trichloroacetic acid precipitation. The inhibitor showed electrophoretic microheterogeneity which was not due to sialic acid content. It inhibited bovine and rat trypsin, showed weak inhibition of bovine chymotrypsin and was inactive against rat chymotrypsin and bovine renin, kallikrein, thrombin and trypsinogen. The dynamics of secretion of the inhibitor in the first 8 milkings post-partum were very similar to those of colostral immunoglobulins.
