Peptidase Activity in the White Blood Cells of Young and Old Subjects.
Much work has been done in studying the peptidases of many and varied tissues and it has been the belief of several workers in this field (1,2,3) that the formed elements of the blood constitute the most probable place of origin of serum and tissue peptidases. Following this line of thought a study...

| Summary: | Much work has been done in studying the peptidases of many and varied tissues and it has been the belief of several workers in this field (1,2,3) that the formed elements of the blood constitute the most probable place of origin of serum and tissue peptidases. Following this line of thought a study was undertaken of the characteristics of peptide hydrolysis in the various human blood constituents with regard to any changes due to age. From the work so far concluded and published it appeared that the rate of peptidase activity of the white blood cell layer in senile subjects was significantly higher than in young subjects (4).
