Abstract
The myeloperoxidase content of the normal human leucocyte has been established as greater than 5% of the dry weight, which is contrary to the often quoted value of 1–2%. The conditions for the preparation of a new cellular particulate in which the peroxidase activity is localized is described; it is heavier than mitochondria, and contains at least 10–30 times more peroxidase than the particulate fractions carrying the cytochrome oxidase activity.
