    Abstract

    Plasmin mainly cleaved the Arg5-Ser6 bond of Arg-Val-Leu-Pro-Arg-interleukin-8 (AVLPR-IL-8) produced by human dermal fibroblasts, which resulted in the conversion of AVLPR-IL-8 to IL-8 and the inactive pentapeptide, though a minor cleavage of AVLPR-IL-8 by plasmin at Lys8-Glu9 bond occurred.
