Trypsin2
Recently we have studied the ability of an enzymatically modified form of LDL (E-LDL), obtained by treatment with trypsin and then cholesterol esterase, to activate C1, the complex that triggers activation of the classical pathway of complement. (europa.eu)
In addition to trypsin, plasmin, thrombin, tryptase and matrix metalloprotease-2 each yielded E-LDL particles with high C1-activating efficiency, and the C1 activation extent was strictly dependent on cholesterol esterase treatment in all cases. (europa.eu)
