[Histonet] trypsin verses chymotrypsin

[Morken, Tim - Labvision]

Liz, various enzymes break peptides at different sites. Maybe the authors
found that chymotrypsin works better for cartlilage.

Hello everyone
 
Is there anyone out there that can explain the difference between trypsin
and chymotrypsin for retrieval in immunohistochemistry.  I'm working out a
protocol for aggrecan on cartilage and I have a protocol that says they
retrieved in chymotrypsin.  Any input would be appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance
 
Liz
