Abstract
Azurophil and specific granules were isolated from human polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes. Collagenase was almost exclusively a component of the specific granules. This finding is in contrast with the distribution of other proteolytic enzymes, which are localized in the azurophil (or lysosomal) granules.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
