Collagenolytic activity of eosinophilic granuloma in vitro
Abstract
Lytic activity of eosinophilic granuloma and other tumours was studied in vitro on collagen substrate. Collagen degradation was measured through the release of hydroxyproline-rich peptides into the medium. The in vitro lytic action was at a maximum in the case of EG and was correlated with the presence of histiocytic cells.
