A Preliminary Study of the Activation of Endogenous Pancreatic Exocrine Enzymes during Automated Porcine Islet Isolation

The activation of endogenous pancreatic enzymes during automated pancreas digestion may be detrimental to islet isolation. In this report we assessed the activation of trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, carboxypeptidases A and B, phospholipase A 2 , and lipase using a porcine model. Four islet isolati...
