Sažetak

Acid proteinases were isolated from calf lymph nodes using
acid extraction, ammonium sulphate and acetone precipitation,
followed by ion exchange chromatography on CM-cellulose and
_ gel chromatography on Sephadex G-100. Cathepsin D (E. C. 3.4.23.5)
is present in lymph nodes. It has the molecular weight of 39 000
as determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. Cathepsins
Bl and B2 (E. C. 3.4.22.1) were also isolated. Molecular weights
of 22 000 and 51 000 were determined for cathepsins Bl and B2,
respectively. Calf lymph nodes contain also another proteinase
which degrades haemoglobin at an optimum at pH = 3.0. This
proteinase has a molecular weight of 14 000 as was determined
by gel filtration. Its activity is not inhibited with 0,25 ~tM pepstatin
which inhibits 903/o of the cathepsin D activity.
