Hen egg-white lysozyme has a molecular weight of about 14,600 and each molecule comprises 129 amino acid residues1. The activity of lysozyme in promoting the dissolution of bacterial cell walls is now known to depend upon its ability to catalyze the hydro
LTB4 dimethyl amide is a moderate inhibitor of LTB4-induced degranulation of human neutrophils (Ki = 130 nM) and lysozyme release from rat PMNL. LTB4 dimethyl amide appears to be an antagonist of the LTB4 receptor on guinea pig lung membranes.
