An electrophoretic and immunological reinvestigation of the cytosolic di- and tripeptidases of the guinea pig

Electrophoretic and immunological techniques have been used to analyze the cytosolic di‐ and tripeptidases of guinea pigs. In contrast to previous reports utilizing intestinal mucosa extracts, cavian peptidases were found to be similar to peptidases described in other mammals and in fishes. Earlier papers are in error owing to coelectrophoresis of enzymes and to impure enzyme preparations. Guinea pigs are unusual in that they appear to lack...
