Fig. 1 Comparative elastase activity of human PMNs (106/ml), mononuclear cells (106/ml), and serum from patient with aneurysm, with use of S-2484, specific for leukocyte elastase. (See Methods section for details.)

Fig. 2 Fractionation of serum on Sepharose CL-6B column. Five milliliters of serum were added to column and contents were eluted by use of 0.1 M Tris with 0.5 M NaCl (pH 8.0). Peak 1: serum substance that retains SANA proteolytic activity; peak 2: serum immunoglobulin; peak 3: albumin.

Fig. 3 Retained substance from ultrafiltration membrane XM-100A eluted on Sepharose CL-6B column. Filter excludes substances of MW >100,000 daltons. Peak 1: purified active compound that retains SANA proteolytic activity; peak 2: residual albumin.

Fig. 4 Treatment of active serum proteolytic substance isolated from XM-100A filter with Triton X-100 and elution on Sepharose CL-6B column. Detergent Triton X-100 splits active enzyme into at least four components of different MWs: 310,000, 62,000, 40,000, and 10,000 daltons.
