Abstract
Isoforms of trypsin-like protease isolated from the lungs of healthy mice demonstrated high protease activity. Percentage of their protein purification ranged from 59% to 99.94%. The increase of protease activity in blood serum, especially to the 3rd isoform was observed following 4-fold immunization of albino rats with trypsin-like protease isoforms. 60% of the animals of the group 4 previously infected with a lethal dose of influenza virus and then treated with anti-protease immune sera were still alive for the observation period of 14 days. 100% of mice of the control group who did not get treatment but were infected with a lethal dose of influenza A virus died in 4 -5 days after the infection.
