ABSTRACT:
A chondroitinase II is isolated from Proteus vulgaris. This enzyme together with chondroitinase I, is useful for selectively and completely disinserting the ocular vitreous body from the neural retina of the eye. The chondroitinase II has the amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID No. 2, an isoelectric point of from about 8.4 to about 8.45, and a molecular weight of 111,772+27 daltons as determined by electrospray and 111,725+20 daltons as determined by laser desorption. Preferrably, the chondroitinase II and chondroitinase I are co-purified chondroitinases which can then be separately eluted from each other.
