Trypanosomatid cysteine protease activity may be enhanced by a kininogen-like moiety from host serum

African trypanosomes contain cysteine proteases (ttypanopains) the activity of which can be measured by in vitro digestion of fibrinogen, after electophoresis in fibrinogen-containing SDS/polyacrylamide gels. When assessed by this procedure, trypanopain from Trypanosoma brucei (trypanopain-Tb) is es...
