Macromolecular lactate dehydrogenase linked to serum IgG of a patient with liver cirrhosis.

چکیده
An anomalous zymogram of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the serum from a patient with liver cirrhosis was reported. Agar-gel electrophoresis of serum showed an extra LDH band close to the anodic side of LDH5 and a wide band of LDH5. Gel filtration of patient's serum in Sephadex G-200 demonstrated an abnormal LDH fraction eluted between immunoglobulin G (IgG) and macroglobulin in addition to a normal LDH component. Chromatographically abnormal LDH was demonstrated on agar gel as extra and wide LDH5 bands and resembled closely human hepatic LDH in various physico-chemical properties such as inhibition by urea or substrate, stability against heat, and Michaelis-Menten's constant. Immunological analyses demonstrated that abnormal LDH could be in the state combined with IgG. Molecular weight of the complex estimated by gel filtration was approximately 300,000. Mixtures of the heated patient's serum with normal or patient's hepatic LDH showed abnormal LDH fraction by gel filtration, whereas abnormal fraction was not demonstrated when heated normal serum was mixed with normal or the patient's hepatic LDH. These results strongly suggest that the occurrence of anomalous LDH zymogram in patient's serum is due to a formation of LDH-IgG complex, which is based on the binding of essentially normal hepatic LDH and abnormal IgG.

Incubation of rat hepatocytes with epinephrine inhibited alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (80%) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (53%) activities with no effect on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. Injection of epinephrine caused a progressive increase with time in hepatic LDH activity, being 52% at 24 h. Preinjection with propranolol eliminated the hormone effect and caused further ...
متن کاملSerum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme (s) linked to immunoglobulin G with extremely decreased activity detected in myocardial infarct
LDH isoenzyme (s) linked to IgG of the lambda type found in the serum of a patient having had myocardial infarction is reported. This LDH-IgG complex has almost no enzymatic activity. It was found that the IgG of the patient acted as an inhibitor of LDH. LDH activity in normal human serum was inhibited and abnormal patterns of LDH isoenzyme (s) appeared when certain amounts of the patient's ser...
متن کاملTransient appearance of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)-linked immunoglobulin and thyroid dysfunction at the postpartum period.
Here, we report a 28-year-old woman who transiently showed lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)-linked immunoglobulin during postpartum thyroiditis. She demonstrated high levels of serum LDH (794 IU/l) and thyroid hormones 7 months after delivery. Electrophoretic isoenzyme analysis of LDH showed an abnormal broadband caused by LDH-linked immunoglobulin (IgG-kappa). Transient thyrotoxicosis due to postpa...
متن کاملExtra lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme band in serum of patients with severe liver disease.
Normal human serum and tissues, except for testis, show five lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; Llactate: NAD oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27) isoenzymes on electrophoresis (1). During a study of LDH isoenzymes in various disorders we noted that the sera of three patients with hepatic cirrhosis had an additional band (band “T”) between LDH-4 and -5. Each of these patients had a serum bilirubin concentrati...
