SUMMARY Increased acid hydrolase activity has been demonstrated in suction blister fluid 1.5 h after the application of established lysosomal labilizing agents. Both the pattern of enzyme activity and the magnitude of the increases were similar to those following cutaneous inflammation. These data confirm our previous observations that acid hydrolases do indeed play a role in cutaneous inflammation, but their release is not the initial event in this process.
