Summary
A clear picture of the proteolytic system existing in blood has been presented.
The possibility of the presence of a trypsin-kinase in blood has been discussed.
The red blood cells and the platelets have been examined for the presence of trypsin-kinase.
Red blood cells do not contain the kinase.
The experiments reported in this paper strongly suggest the presence of trypsin-kinase in platelets, which is capable of liberating the trypsin from the inhibitor compound present in acetone precipitated plasma proteins.
