The ratio between class II and class I collagenase determines the amount of neutral protease activity required for efficient islet release from the rat pancreas.
Previous investigations clearly showed that the successful release of islets from the pancreas is mediated by both neutral protease (NP) and collagenase, consisting of subclasses I and II showing different capacities to cleave islets from the pancreas. Since no informations about the optimal ratio b...
