Eosinophil peroxidase deficiency: morphological and immunocytochemical studies of the eosinophil-specific granules.
Five eosinophil peroxidase (EPO)-deficient subjects were identified from 131,000 peripheral blood samples examined for routine automated analysis. The EPO-deficient eosinophils of these subjects met the main criteria established for EPO deficiency: absent or strongly decreased reaction for peroxidase, absent or strongly decreased staining with Sudan Black, and an increased ratio of the granule ...
متن کاملAugmentation of spontaneous macrophage-mediated cytolysis by eosinophil peroxidase
Eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), a cationic protein purified from horse blood, adhered to four different types of tumor cells, markedly potentiating their lysis by preformed or enzymatically generated H(2)0(2) (up to 76-fold, as assayed in serum-containing tissue culture medium without supplemental halide). Similarly, compared with uncoated tumor cells, EPO-coated tumor cells were up to 32 times mo...
متن کاملImmunopathogenesis of experimental ulcerative colitis is mediated by eosinophil peroxidase.
The precise role that individual inflammatory cells and mediators play in the development of gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction and extraintestinal clinical manifestations of ulcerative colitis (UC) is unknown. In this study, we have used a mouse model of UC to establish a central role for eotaxin and, in turn, eosinophils in the development of the immunopathogenesis of this disease. In this mod...
متن کاملPost-translational tyrosine nitration of eosinophil granule toxins mediated by eosinophil peroxidase.
Nitration of tyrosine residues has been observed during various acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanism of tyrosine nitration and the nature of the proteins that become tyrosine nitrated during inflammation remain unclear. Here we show that eosinophils but not other cell types including neutrophils contain nitrotyrosine-positive proteins in specific granules. Furthermore...
متن کاملSubstrates and products of eosinophil peroxidase.
Eosinophil peroxidase has been implicated in promoting oxidative tissue damage in a variety of inflammatory conditions, including asthma. It uses H(2)O(2) to oxidize chloride, bromide and thiocyanate to their respective hypohalous acids. The aim of this study was to establish which oxidants eosinophil peroxidase produces under physiological conditions. By measuring rates of H(2)O(2) utilization...
