Summary

Myeloperoxidase, catalase, lysozyme, cathepsin D and E, beta-D-glucuronidase, and acid phosphatase were found in subcellular fractions of rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes, while chicken leucocytes lacked myeloperoxidase, catalase, and cathepsin E. Pepstatin added to rabbit leucocytes before their disintegration caused the inhibition of cathepsin D and E and an increase of specific activity of myeloperoxidase, as well as of total antibacterial activity.
