The level and stability of residual catalase in cultured acatalasemic skin fibroblasts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an attempt to determine the level and heat stability of residual catalase in somatic cells of acatalasemic Japanese, skin fibroblasts from an acatalasemic subject were cultured, and the catalase activity of the cultured fibroblasts was compared with that of cultured normal fibroblasts. Catalase activity was determined using an oxygen electrode. The residual catalase activity in cultured acatalasemic fibroblasts was 10% of the normal. The heat stability at 55 degrees C of residual catalase in the acatalasemic fibroblasts was similar to that of normal fibroblasts.

Purpose: Low level laser therapy is suggested as a new therapeutic method in diabetic wound healing. This survey aimed to evaluate the effects of low level laser on human fibroblasts cultured in high glucose cultures. Materials and Methods: The human skin fibroblasts were cultured under standard condition. The cells were cultured in high glucose culture medium (15mM/L) for a week and two weeks ...

The concentration of catalase protein in anemic blood with enhanced population of reticulocytes and in non-anemic blood was determined immunologically by double diffusion test with anti-mome-liver catalase rabbit serum. The change in catalase protein concentration in anemic blood during incubation at 37◦C for 24 hours was also studied. It was indicated that the diminished catalase activity in a...

Catalase-deficient mouse strains was initially established by Feinstein et al. through a large scale screening of the progeny of irradiated C3H mice in 1966. Later, Feinstein provided the mice of catalase mutant strain C3H/AnICs(a)Cs(a) (wild-type), C3H/AnICs(b)Cs(b) and C3H/AnlCs(c)Cs(c) to Okayama University Medical School in Japan. It is known that a point mutation at amino acid 11 (from glu...

Background: Extensive full-thickness burns require replacement of both epidermis and dermis. In designing skin replacements, the goal has been to re-create this model and make a product which has both essential components. Methods: In the present study, we developed procedures for establishing confluent, stratified layers of cultured human keratinocytes on the surface of modified collagen-chito...
