8 patients with chronic pyelonephritis were given gentamycin intramuscularly injected in individual dosage during 8-10 days. Here the behaviour of the excretion of protein, alanine aminopeptidase alkaline phosphatase, alpha-glucosidase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and lysozyme with the urine was tested. With the exception of the lysozymuria, which increased only in patients with chronic renal insufficiency, regularly a hyperenzymuria developed. Most distinctly the excretion of the alanine aminopeptidase increased. After initial decrease the excretion of total protein transiently increased after completion of the gentamycin therapy. All the deviations were reversible. From the increased excretion of enzymes may not be concluded to a nephrotoxicity of gentamycin.

The histrochemistry of the adrenal glands was studied in four adult male marmosets (two Callithrix jacchus and two Callithrix penicillata). It was impossible to demonstrate any reactivity to UDPG-GT, ADH, alanyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, xilitol (NAD-dependent) dehydrogenase, beta-glucuronidase and aryl-sulfatase in these glands. Total phosphorylase was found in scattered cells of the glomerulosa and adjacent outer fasciculata of one C. penicillata. The dehydrogenases (LDH, G-6-PDH,6-PGDH, NADPH2-TR,ICDH,SDH,NADH2-TR, alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH) as well as the hydrolases (except alkaline phosphatase, ATPase, and acetylcholinesterase) showed a stonger reactivity in the cortical part. Some hydrolases (naphthol acetate esterase, acid phosphatase) and cytochrome oxidase were less reactive in the zona glomerulosa, where the dehydrogenases were more abundant. The outer fasciculata and the reticularis also showed a strong dehydrogenase reactivity.

Brush borders were prepared from pig intestinal mucosa and the membrane proteins solubilized with either Triton X-100 or papain. Proteins, thus released, were used as antigens to raise antisera in rabbits. The immunoglobulin G fractions were isolated and shown by the double layer immunofluorescence staining technique to react only with the brush border region of the enterocyte. The antibodies obtained were used in immunoelectrophoretic studies on the brush border proteins. Eight hydrolytic activities were identified by the use of histo-chemical staining methods. These were the microsomal aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.2), aspartate aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.7), dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.X), lactase (EC 3.2.1.23), glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3), sucrase (EC 3.2.1.48), isomaltase (EC 3.2.1.10) and alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1). In addition, at least four faint immunoprecipitates were formed but none of these were identified.

The epithelial cells in the taste buds of C. jacchus and C. penicillata show a moderate amount of ribonucleic acid an a concentration of a PAS-positive diastase-resistant material at their apical part. These cells are devoid of UDPG-GT, phosphorylases, G-6-PA, alanyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase, cholinesterase and MAO; they present a weak reaction of F-1, 6-P Ald, LDH, SDH, MDH, cytochrome oxidase, beta-OHBDH, nonspecific esterase and acid phosphatase and a stronger reaction to ADH, NADPH2-TR, ATPases, alpha-GPDH, alkaline phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase and GDH. Although some enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase and ATPases) have an almost uniform reactivity by the several taste buds, the other ones react with a lesser intensity in the smaller uniform reactivity by the several taste buds, the other ones react with a lesser intensity in the smaller taste buds of the fungiform papillae. As a rule the apical part of the cells shows a stronger enzymatic reactivity. The taste buds of the marmosets are penetrated by acetylcholinesterase positive nerve fibers whereas the autonomic ganglia in the connective tissue contain both-acetyl and butyrylcholinesterase.

The subcellular localization of aminopeptidase N (previously called aminoendopeptidase) has been investigated. This enzyme was found to be partially released (30-40%) by osmotic shock or by converting Escherichia coli K10 cells to spheroplasts. However, in all other E. coli strains (K12, B/r, MRE 600, ML 308) tested, this enzyme is not released at all by these procedures and thus behaves like a cytoplasmic enzyme. The crypticity of aminopeptidase N is surprisingly low, 75-85% of the enzyme activity is directly assayable in intact cells of any E. coli strain. Various inhibitors of transport systems do not interfer with this assay. Aminopeptidase activity could also be assayed in spheroplasts, even when an insolubilized substrate was used, which suggests a surface location of this enzyme. As well, N-ethylmaleimide (0.4 mM), under conditions which do not allow penetration in the cytoplasm, caused 70% inhibition of aminopeptidase N. Binding of 125I-labeled antiaminopeptidase N antibody to spheroplasts (from K12 strain) was used to assay the orientation of aminopeptidase N in the membrane. This enzyme is exposed on the outer surface of the cytoplasmic membrane. Confirmation of this orientation was obtained by comparing the accessibility of aminopeptidase, alkaline phosphatase and beta-galactosidase to fluorescamine in intact cells. Only 16% of the total beta-galactosidase was labeled with this fluorescent reagent whereas 44-45% of the aminopeptidase N and 59% of the alkaline phosphatase were labeled. Electron microscopic visualization of insolubilized reaction products of aminopeptidase N within the cells showed that these products are located at the poles of the cells. Neither mutant cells which were devoid of aminopeptidase N activity nor parental strains with the enzyme activity inhibited with phenylmercuric chloride contained the characteristic black caps. Thus, it appears that the periplasm is enlarged at the poles of the cells and that the reaction product is mainly located in these places. Investigation of the type of interactions of aminopeptidase N with the plasma membrane only revealed that aminopeptidase N has mainly an electrostatic interaction with the outer surface, probably mediated by magnesium ion bridges. Additional interactions are involved since disruption of the integrity of the cytoplasmic membrane is required to totally release this enzyme.

The human small intestinal brush border proteins were studied qualitatively by crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Brush border membranes were purified from human jejunum and the proteins released by Triton X-100. Rabbits were immunized with the released proteins and by using a double layer immunofluorescence technique the obtained antisera were shown to be specific against the brush border proteins. The precipitates obtained in crossed immunoelectrophoresis were identified by enzymatic staining techniques. Sucrase (EC 3.2.1.48), isomaltase EC 3.2.1.10), maltase (EC 3.2.1.20), phloretin-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.62), lactase (EC3.2.1.23), microvillus aminopeptidase (aminopeptidase (microsomal), EC 3.4.11.2), dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.X), and alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) were identified while asparate aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.7), gamma-glutamyl transferase (EC 2.3.2.2) and trehalase (EC 3.2.1.28) could not be visualized. This work demonstrates that cross immunoelectrophoresis can be used in the study of human small intestinal brush border proteins.

Octyl beta-D-glucoside was synthetized from alpha-acetobromoglucose with an improved method yielding a very pure product with a sharp melting point (108-109 degrees C) and free of intermediate products as judged by IR and NMR spectra. The yield of the synthesis is 66% when referred to alpha-acetobromoglucose. The potency of this compound as a detergent on hog kidney brush border membranes was compared to the action of Triton X-100. Octyl glucoside preferentially extracts aminopeptidase M and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase in a concentration-dependent manner. The more deeply imbedded membrane enzyme, alkaline phosphatase, was relatively resistent to the action of octyl glucoside. In contrast, Triton X-100 extracted all membrane proteins to about the same extent. Additionally it was found that octyl glucoside can be removed from membrane extracts by Biobead SM 2. The capacity of the beads is about 170 mg detergent/g of dry Biobead SM 2. Thus octyl glucoside seems to be a useful tool for solubilization and purification of brush border membranes proteins.

Histoenzymologic differences between the parotid, paramandibular and submandibular glands were studied in six Callithrix jacchus (four males and two females) and four Callithrix penicillata (three males and one female). The acinous cells of the paramandibular glands showed a stronger reactivity for the diaphorases (NADH2-TR and NADPH2-TR) and for a certain group of enzymes of the carbohydrate metabolism (F-1-6P Ald, LDH, ADH, G-6-PDH and 6-PGDH), lipid metabolism (alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase), protein metabolism (alanyl aminopeptidase, leucine aminopeptidase and GDH) and respiratory chain (cris-aconitase and ICDH). The nonspecific esterase was more reactive in the basal part of of the mucous cells of the submandibular glands. Conversely, some enzymes of the respiratory chain (SDH, cytochrome oxidase and ATPases) showed a stronger reactivity in the serous cells of the parotid and submandibular glands. The paramandibular glands exhibited a lesser autonomic innervation than the parotid and submandibular.

In women employed in an industrial plant in direct contact with epoxide resins and their hardeners, the following biochemical parameters were determined in blood: total protein, seromucoid, haptoglobin, hemoglobin variants, methemoglobin, alpha1-inhibitor of trypsin, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate and alanine aminotransferases, alkaline and acid phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, leucylaminopeptidase, and alanine aminopeptidase. Depending on duration of work, Hb A2 fraction and lactate dehydrogenase increased significantly, and aspartate aminotransferase, acid and alkaline phosphatase activities decreased. In pregnant women, leucylaminopeptidase activity and isozyme of placental alkaline phosphatase were decreased.

The enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) is the hallmark of the myeloid lineage. We have analysed the presence of MPO in blasts from 180 cases of acute leukaemia (103 acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and 77 acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) by means of monoclonal antibodies anti-MPO and immunocytochemistry (alkaline phosphatase anti-alkaline phosphatase method). The aim of the study was to investigate the specificity and sensitivity of this marker compared with MPO cytochemistry by light (LM) and electron microscopy (EM), and with the expression of myeloid antigens. Anti-MPO was positive (greater than 3% blasts) in all but one of the 90 AML positive by LM cytochemistry. Of 13 AML cases negative by MPO cytochemistry, six showed 3-10% blasts reactive with anti-MPO and were also positive with antibodies to CD13 and/or CD33. The presence of MPO was confirmed in four of these by EM. The overall positivity of anti-MPO in AML was 92%. Anti-MPO was negative in all but two ALL (6% and 8% positive blasts). The blasts in these two cases were also CD13, CD33 and MPO positive by EM; both were thus reclassified as biphenotypic. Another two ALL reinterpreted as biphenotypic were negative by MPO cytochemistry and anti-MPO but were MPO positive by EM and with CD13 and/or CD33. We conclude that anti-MPO is a sensitive and specific early marker of myeloid blasts and should be incorporated in the routine immunophenotyping of acute leukaemia.
