  Mechanisms Responsible for Granzyme B-Independent Cytotoxicity -- Shresta et al. 89 (11): 4085 -- Blood
Using granzyme B-deficient mice obtained by gene targeting, we previously demonstrated that granzyme B is required for the rapid induction of apoptotic target cell death by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs); however, CTLs are also equipped with additional effector mechanisms.
Granzyme B and perforin mutations were identified by Southern blot analysis of mouse tail DNA, as described previously.

The ability of granzyme B to cleave the purified nonautoantigens lactoferrin, apotransferrin, and thrombin was examined by incubating 20 µg of each substrate in the absence or presence of 30 nM granzyme B for 60 min at 37°C, followed by Coomassie blue staining of SDS-PAGE.
