Purification And Characterization Of An Inhibitor Of Thymidine Uptake From Culture Supernatants Of Human Tonsil Lymphocytes, Abdolreza Zarnegar
Purification And Characterization Of An Inhibitor Of Thymidine Uptake From Culture Supernatants Of Human Tonsil Lymphocytes, Abdolreza Zarnegar
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Lymphocytes from human tonsils were cultured in the absence of serum for 3 days. In the presence of the concentrated culture supernatant the proliferative response of PBL, to con A, as measured by the uptake of ('3)H-tdr, was significantly reduced. The suppressor substance was referred to as SMAL (suppressor of mitogen activated lymphocytes). The estimated molecular weight of SMAL under nondenaturing conditions was 100,000-300,000. SMAL also suppressed the incorporation of ('3)H-tdr by a variety of mouse and human tumor cell lines. The activity of SMAL was sensitive to pronase and heating at 100(DEGREES)C for 30 minutes but insensitive to RNase. …
Human Lung Tryptase Purification And Characterization, Timothy J. Smith
Human Lung Tryptase Purification And Characterization, Timothy J. Smith
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Human lung tryptase (HLT), a mast cell derived trypsin-like enzyme, was isolated from whole human lung tissue obtained at autopsy. Increased yields from this purification process allowed extensive characterization of the enzyme. One of the critical steps in the purification scheme was the use of a linear heparin gradient to elute active material from cellulose phosphate. Gel filtration studies in 1.0 M NaCl yielded an apparent M(,r) of 135,000, and subsequent electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels demonstrated the presence of two active species with apparent M(,r) = 30,900 and 31,600. Enzymatic activity was sensitive to NaCl concentrations above 0.05 …
