Specific Proteases of the Rat Mast Cell

Nature volume 213, pages 1198–1202 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

Labelled inhibitors have been used to study the activity and properties of a chymotrypsin-like enzyme in rat mast cells. In conjunction with light microscopy (this article) and electron microscopy (second article, page 1202), the method yields estimates of the numbers and locations of the enzyme molecules.
