title: [Improvements in the technical conditions for the evaluation of an elastolytic activity. The role of tryspin as an activator (author's transl)].
abstract: An isotopic assay of elastolytic activity is performed; the iodine-125 ions retained inside the elastin framework were removed by appropriate treatment. This acute substrate enables us to study the role of trypsin on elastase activity and facilitates the study of elastase role in atherosclerosis.
