Abstract
Preparations of ECF-A derived from anaphylactic guinea-pig lung diffusates were subjected to a variety of enzymatic degradations. The enzymes employed had specificityonly for their appropiate subtstates. No effect was found following treatmentwith relatively high doses of trypsin, alpha-chymotrypsin, pronase, alkaline phosphataseand sialidase. In contrast a loss of activity was demonstated in a dose-dependent fashion following incubation with tyrosinase, aryl sulphatase and leucine aminopeptidase, suggesting that ECF-A contains a phenolic hydroxyl group, a sulphate ester anda peptide linkage with a free alpha-amino group.Entities:
