A detergent compositions comprising an alkaline protease, having an optimum pH range on the alkaline side, having an activity of hydrolyzing human horny keratin fiber of 40 KFU/APU or more, possessing a superior activity toward insoluble proteins, and exhibiting a sufficient activity in a wide temperature range, exhibit excellent detergency toward protein soils.

Detergent composition

A method and device for speeding-up and enhancing the cleaning of soiled parts of clothes by rub-coating with an enzyme-containing liquid detergent by means of a porous body made of heated and sintered synthetic plastic material.

Process for cleaning clothes

A novel tissue plasminogen activator having the following characteristics: molecualr weight of 65,000-72,000 Daltons as measured by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis using at 7.5% agarose gel; plasminogen activator specific activity of about 10.4.times.10.sup.4 IU/mg, wherein specific activity is defined as the ratio of fibrinolytic activity of purified t-PA measured on fibrin-agarose plates to milligrams of protein; about 83.1% absorption of t-PA by a fibrin-Sepharose column when applied; binds to a Concanavalin A column when applied; the fibrinolytic activity is substantially undiminished by heating at 60.degree. C. for 60 minutes or 95.degree. C. for 5 minutes relative to unheated t-PA; unreactive with polyclonal antisera raised against urokinase; the fibrinolytic activity is substantially stable at pH 5-10; exhibits fibrinolytic activity at pH 7.5-9.0 and temperature 39.degree.-41.degree. C.; a Km value of about 1.16.times.10.sup.-3 mol/liter and a V.sub.max of about 11.7.times.10.sup.-8 mol/liter for substrate S-2288; and fibrinolytic activity is inhibited by Co.sup.2+ Zn.sup.2+, Cd.sup.2+, Hg.sup.2+, Ni.sup.2+ and Cu.sup.2+.

Tissue plasminogen-activating factor and nonoclonal antibody

A novel detergent composition for clothing comprises a cellulase having a non-degrading index of the following equation of not less than 500 ##EQU1## The composition can not only remove the dirt in clothing articles without damaging them but also show the effect of mitigating the roughness of cloth to the touch and the effect of preventing decoloration.

Detergent composition for clothing: containing cellulase enzyme with

Detergent composition for clothing incorporating a cellulase

A novel liquid detergent composition for clothing articles comprising from 0.01 to 10 wt % of an organic polymer, which has a specific particle size, in the form of a polymer latex. The detergent composition has a good shrink resistance for felt.

Liquid detergent composition for clothing articles

A detergent composition contains as an active component a cellulase produced by alkalophilic bacteria of the genus of Cellulosmonas.

A detergent composition for cleaning and improving the feel of clothes comprising from 0.5 to 20% by weight of cationic surfactant for imparting a fabric softening effect to clothes and from 0.2 to 4 parts by weight, per one part by weight of said cationic surfactant of an alkyl or alkenyl ether sulfate having oxypropylene and/or oxybutylene groups in the molecule.
