[Lipids and caplain in guinea pig tissues in the process of development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis].

The character of some lipids level change--cholesterol and phospholipids--as basic lipid components of cell membranes in the guinea-pig brain and liver tissue, and in serum in conditions of development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) have been investigated on the 11th, 21st, 27th day after inoculation. It has been detected, that the level of the investigated lipids changes wavely and indifferent-direction in the brain tissue on the 21st day of EAE. Similar variability observed in the activity of proteolytic ferment calpain, which is authentically reduced in the brain tissue by the 11th hour and increases up to the test objective level in the subsequent periods of EAE development.

[Age difference of bone collagen in hydrolysis by Streptomyces griseus protease].

Hydrolysis of the cattle bone insoluble collagen was studied as affected by Streptomyces griseus protease. The enzymic hydrolysis was performed before and after protein decalcination. The amino acidic composition of collagens in young and old animals is the same.
