Abstract
Our studies have dealt with cathepsin D in rat thoracic duct lymphocytes, in which it displays an intracellular localization different from the other lysosomal acid hydrolases. Further studies on this enzyme have led to the finding that it has interesting biochemical properties different from the cathepsin D of many other rat tissues and other species.
I wish to express my deep appreciation to Dr. Brian Poole for presenting this talk at the Symposiun.
