A procedure to quantitate trace amounts of elastase in tissue or cell homogenate preparations is described. The procedure is a modification of a method employing NaB3H,-reduced elastin and it does not restrict assay volume. The assay is specific and can distinguish between pancreatic elastase and tr
A method is described for measuring the elastin content of whole tissue. Desmosine and isodesmosine, the cross-linking amino acids unique to elasiin, were first separated by paper chromatography and then quantitated by amino acid analysis. Results compared favorably to those obtained with gravimetri
