Crevicular fluid from gingivitis patients contains significant levels of a cysteine protease which was characterized as the lysosomal protease cathepsin B, as judged by substrate specificity, thiol dependence, pH optimum, kinetic parameters, pH stability, and inhibitor sensitivities. A highly-sensitive fluorometric assay procedure was used to establish the mean level of cathepsin B activity for 25 gingivitis patients.
