Abstract
By employing benzoyl-1-arginine aminase and leucine- amino peptidase on homogenates of various portions of tubercles experimentally produced in animals it was found that there is greatly increased enzymatic activity in the inflammatory zones of the tubercles and progressively decreased activity, down to zero, in the central caseating areas.Keywords
