Collagenase is potentially irreversibly inactivated at pH <5 and reversibly inactivated at pH â¥8.5; activity can be restored by return of pH to 7.4.a. Collagenase can be destroyed by other proteolytic enzymes or by exposure to temperatures >56Â°C.a.
Splenectomy is a surgical procedure to remove your spleen. The spleen is an organ that sits under your rib cage on the upper left side of your abdomen. It helps fight infection and filters unneeded material, such as old or damaged blood cells. The most common reason for splenectomy is to treat a ruptured spleen, often caused by an abdominal injury.
The spleen is a blood filled organ located in the upper left abdominal cavity. It is a storage organ for red blood cells and contains many specialized white blood cells called âmacrophagesâ (disease fighting cells) which act to filter blood. The spleen is part of the immune system and also removes old and damaged blood particles from your system. The spleen helps the body identify and kill bacteria. The spleen can affect the platelet count, the red blood cell count and even the white blood count.
