Methods.The eyes of cattle were removed within 15 minutes after killing, nisrkcd and packed in crushed ice. They were always used on the same clay. &fore the experiment they were usually put for 15 minutes into saline kept at room temperature (20-22’C). In some instances they were used directly in the cold state instead. In some experiments the conjunctiva was removed up to the limbus, in others it was left in situ. For the infusion the eye was placed on a small dish. A burette containing the solution to be tested was connected to the anterior chamber by a medium-sized needle and well-washed latex tubing. Another needle was put into the anterior chamber and the latter washed with test solution by withdrawing 3--5 nil through the second needle while at the same time injecting a corresponding amount of the same solution into the tubing leading to the first needle. Undue pressure rises were avoiclcd, although it soon was found that a short pressure rise, even one leading to clouding of the cornea, was without influence on the latter course of the experiment. After the washing, which took about 1 minute of time, and which caused considerable turbulence in the anterior chamber, a counter-puncture was made with the second needle and infusion from the burette was started. Time was counted from the moment of insertion of the first needle. The solutions were delivered from ordinary 2 ml straight burettes graduated in 0.02 ml and lying horizontally in the same level as the needle in the anterior chamber. Pressure was excerted on the fluid column by compressed air from a nianostat kept at a pressure of about 23 cni of H,@, but always the same in each pair of eyes. All solutions to go into the eyes were made up every day with freshly redistilled water from a whole-glass still. The basic solution consisted of 9 parts of 0.0 percent NaCl and 1 part of 0.15 M sodiumbarbital buffer, pII 7. To this was added either a lyophilized testicular hyaluroniclase (Hyalas from AB Leo, Halsingborg) or an amount of methyl gelatin corxsponding to the amount of this stabilizer present in the enzyme preparation.The hyaluronidase used has been subjected to close study by MALM-GREX (1953). It is homogeneous on ultracentrifugation and electrophoresis and seems to be a polypeptide of about 11,000 molecular weight. The preparation is free of proteolytic activity. Its activity is given as about 500 viscosity reducing units (VRU) per mg, representing a purification of 3* 103 over the crude testis extract.
