Abstract
Summary
The specific activities of the acid hydrolases cathepsin, β-glucuronidase, β-galactosidase, β-glucosaminidase, and acid phosphatase have been shown to increase dramatically during the resorption of carrageenan-induced granulomas. Since these degradative enzymes are of the type normally found in lysosomes, this is strong presumptive evidence that these subcellular particles and their enzymes play a major role in granuloma resorption.
