Abstract
The histochemical demonstration of the activities of proteases, based in the majority of cases on the use of discriminating synthetic substrates (aminoacyl or peptidyl derivatives of 4-methoxy-2-naphthylamine [MNA]), has proved very valuable in pathology. Its importance is illustrated by three topics investigated in our laboratory, namely lymphocytes, malabsorption syndrome and atherosclerosis.
