Method for recovering myeloperoxidase and pharmaceutical composition containing myeloperoxidase as major constituent

摘要

Myeloperoxidase can be separated and recovered from a supernatant liquid of an aqueous dispersion of a disintegration product of human myelogenous leukocytes, which dispersion has been admixed with at least one member selected from the group consisting of manganese salts and protamine sulfate. The recovered myeloperoxidase in combination with an alkali metal halide can be used as a pharmaceutical composition effective against microorganisms deficient or diminished in catalase synthesizing activity.
