2)collagenase
3)thrombin
4)trypsin
5)stromeolysin

  #4

i`d go for Trypsin. afterall that is what they give to lyse Surgical wounds. but if so where are they secreted from the Pleural epith. or
PMNs?

  #6

i think its plasmin coz it is fibrinolytic and breaks fibrin strands in fibrinous pleuritis

trypsin is released frm neutrophils to destroy bacteria and remove the debris in lung infections
