Fragmentation of human polymorphonuclear-leucocyte collagenase.
Human polymorphonuclear-leucocyte collagenase (M(r) 64,000) shows autoproteolytic degradation to two major fragments of M(r) 40,000 and M(r) 27,000. N-terminal sequence data and investigation of the substrate specificity of the fragments demonstrate that the M(r)-40,000 fragment corresponds to the catalytic domain, whereas the M(r0-27,000 fragment shows no enzymic activity. The activity profile...
متن کاملEffect of ammonium chloride treatment on human polymorphonuclear leucocyte iodination.
A discontinuous gradient of Percoll was used to remove RBCs from polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) preparations. The resulting red blood cell-free preparation was used to investigate the effect of ammonium chloride on the iodination response of human PMN. Treatment of PMN with ammonium chloride for five minutes at room temperature resulted in a statistically significant increase in the iodinati...
متن کاملThe latent collagenase and gelatinase of human polymorphonuclear neutrophil leucocytes.
Two metallo-proteinases of human neutrophil leucocytes, collagenase and gelatinase, were studied. Collagenase specifically cleaved native collagen into the TCA and TCB fragments, whereas gelatinase degraded denatured collagen, i.e. gelatin, and the TCA fragments produced by collagenase. On subcellular fractionation by zonal sedimentation, collagenase was found to be localized in the specific gr...
متن کاملAbnormal polymorphonuclear leucocyte chemotaxis in Behçet's syndrome.
Experiments both in vitro and in vivo have been performed to study the chemotactic response of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) in Behçet's syndrome. The experimental results were apparently contradictory. Using modified Boyden chambers we found that the PMNs from patients with Behçet's syndrome responded to a greater extent in vitro than normal cells, but with skin chambers placed over abra...
متن کاملImpaired polymorphonuclear leucocyte chemotaxis in rheumatoid arthritis.
This study has investigated the chemotactic activity of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) isolated from the blood of patients with either articular rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or RA with extra-articular manifestations. A double fluorochrome immunofluorescent staining test has been employed to identify cell-associated immunoglobulins, probably immune complexes. The results suggest an inverse relation...
