The units of the second column of Table 1 should be U/ml instead of μ/ml. The correct table is presented here:
Table 1.
Concentrations of enzymes used for the various proteolytic treatments
| Sample | Concentration | Temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Control/PBS | – | 25°C/37°C |
| Elastase (Worthington Biochemical, Lakewood, NJ) | 5.5 U/ml | 25°C |
| Collagenase (type CLSPA; Worthington) | 200 U/ml | 37°C |
| Chondroitinase ABC + hyaluronidase (Sigma) | 1000 U/ml0.04 U/ml | 37°C |
| Neutrophils | 10% | 37°C |
