Abstract:
:Fourteen antirheumatoid drugs were tested for their effects on the in vitro hyaluronidase activity of normal human serum. Four drugs produced significant changes in enzyme activity. Different results were obtained with ovine testicular hyaluronidase when diluted with either saline or inactivated human serum. No increase in serum hyaluronidase activity was found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. There was no evidence for the existence of tissue specific isoenzymes of hyaluronidase in the serum of either normal subjects or patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
