چکیده

Alveolar type II cells were isolated from five human lung specimens obtained during resection or lobectomy and enriched to 63-85% purity. Digestion with Sigma protease type XIV followed by centrifugal elutriation and Percoll density gradient centrifugation yielded 1.2 +/- 0.4 X 10(6) cells/g lung in the type II cell fractions. The activities of some enzymes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics were determined in these freshly isolated type II cells and compared with activities in alveolar macrophages and fractions of unseparated cells from the same tissue samples. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-cytochrome c reductase activity was similar in the three cell fractions from all five patients (18-29 nmol/mg protein/min). An antibody to rabbit reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-cytochrome P-450 reductase inhibited reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-cytochrome c reduction as much as 70% in microsomal preparations of the isolated human pulmonary cells, although this same antibody barely reacted with microsomes of the human cells in a Western blot assay. Epoxide hydrolase activity was highest in the alveolar type II cells (1.08 +/- 0.17 nmol/mg protein/min). This activity was 6 times higher than in the alveolar macrophage or unseparated cell fractions. 7-Ethoxycoumarin deethylase activity, a cytochrome P-450-dependent pathway, was low or undetectable in the three cell fractions. Trace amounts of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity (0.5-1.5 pmol/mg protein/min) were detected in microsomes of the isolated human cells, even though a polycyclic hydrocarbon-inducible cytochrome P-450 which metabolizes 7-ethoxyresorufin (form 6 in rabbits) was not detected immunochemically.

Optimization of The Cell Aggregates Method for Isolation and Purification of Human Granulosa Cells from Follicular Fluid

Objective Aspirated ovarian follicular fluids (FF) contain luteal granulosa cells (LGC) and other contaminating cell types. Several strategies such as the antibody binding methods, the flask method, the cell strainer, and the positive selection of granulosa aggregates after density gradient centrifugation, were tested as LGCs purification methods. Each of these strategies has its own advantages...

Changes in activities and isozyme patterns of glycolytic enzymes during erythroid differentiation in vitro.

Late committed progenitor cells of erythropoiesis, CFU-E (colony-forming unit--erythroid), were isolated from mouse spleens to near homogeneity by a three-step enrichment procedure. The procedure included a four-day pretreatment of bled mice with the antibiotic thiamphenicol, a recovery period of 3 1/2 days, followed by centrifugal elutriation and Percoll density gradient centrifugation of the ...

Isolation and characterization of the erythroid progenitor cell: CFU-E

Erythroid progenitor cells, CFU-E (colony-forming-unit-erythroid), were isolated to practical homogeneity by a combination of three enrichment procedures. CFU-E were generated in large amounts in spleens of mice previously bled and treated with the erythropoiesis-suppressing drug thiamphenicol. The average CFU-E concentration in spleens from mice 4 d after the thiamphenicol-treatment was 10%. T...
