title: [Proteolytic and collagenolytic activities of the bovine vitreous body].
abstract: The vitreous contains collagen and soluble non-collagen proteins. The degeneration of collagen takes place in a different manner than in the other proteins. It has been detected that the cattle vitreous does not show any collagenolytic activity against the basic types of collagen (I, II, IX, and XI). The vitreous digests haemoglobin only in the acidic section of pH (optimum 3.5-4.5). No proteolytic activity towards Hb in physiological pH has been found.
