Aberrant restriction endonuclease digests of DNA from subjects with hereditary myeloperoxidase deficiency.
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a critical component in the oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity of neutrophils. Hereditary deficiency of MPO occurs commonly, but its genetic basis has not been determined. Previously we have reported the presence of an 89-kilodalton protein, likely pro-MPO, in normal and MPO-deficient neutrophils and hypothesized that the absence of peroxidase activity in neutrophil...
متن کاملHereditary myeloperoxidase deficiency.
Subjects with neutrophil myeloperoxidase (MPO) deficiency have been rarely reported. In part this may be due to the lack of a simple screening technique that would detect them. With the routine use of a cytochemical leukocyte differential counter that employs MPO stains, over a 40-mo a period 8 unrelated probands with partial MPO-deficiency and one with complete deficiency were identified. Fami...
متن کاملHereditary myeloperoxidase deficiency.
The functional properties of granulocytes in a diabetic patient deficient in myeloperoxidase (MPO) were compared with those of granulocytes in healthy subjects. The granulocytes of this patient had normal phagocytic activity. The microbicidal activity of the granulocytes was partially diminished with regard to Staphylococcus aureus and was almost nil with regard to Candida albicans. Fungicidal ...
متن کاملRestriction endonuclease cleavage map of mitochondrial DNA from Aspergillus nidulans.
Mitochondrial DNA of the ascomycete fungus Aspergillus nidulans, a circular molecule of 31 500 base pairs, is cleaved by restriction endonucleases Eco R I, Hind II, Hind III and Bgl II into 3, 7, 9 and 5 fragments, respectively. The relative positions of the cleavage sites could be mapped by analysis of fragments obtained by double enzyme digestions of whole DNA and by complete and partial redi...
متن کاملRestriction endonuclease analysis of Aspergillus fumigatus DNA.
AIMS To develop a genome based DNA fingerprinting system for Aspergillus fumigatus mould. METHODS DNA was extracted from 21 isolates obtained from eight patients with an aspergilloma. This was with a freeze-dried mycelial extract fragmented in liquid nitrogen. DNA was subsequently purified by phenol-chloroform extraction followed by ultracentrifugation on a caesium chloride gradient. The DNA ...
