Purified pro-HP14b 82 97 97   94 95 Not determined
a

Binding of pro-HP14 in plasma is represented as % of the total proenzyme in the supernatant. The relative levels of pro-HP14 were determined by immunoblotting and densitometry of the protein band.

b

Binding of pro-HP14 to microbial cells or cell-wall components is represented as % of the total purified zymogen in the unbound fraction.
