3H-FMLP, a chemotactic peptide that resembles Escherichia coli chemotactic factor, is chemotactic for PAM, binds specifically to a site on the cell, and induces the generation of superoxide radicals by the cell. Scatchard analysis revealed an equilibrium dissociation constant at 26 degrees C of 1.45 x 10(-8)M and the presence of 1.7 , 10(5) receptors per cell. Binding was not inhibited by a partially purified C5a preparation or by the neutrophil-derived CCF but was inhibited by various N-formylated peptides. The order of potency of each peptide to inhibit 3H-FMLP binding was identical to the order of potency of each peptide to induce generation of superoxide by the PAM. Only small amounts of beta-glucuronidase activity and no lysozyme were detected in the supernatant after incubation of the cells for 30 min with varying concentrations of FMLP.

3-Trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) is a pesticide used for the selective control of sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) in stream and river tributaries of the Great Lakes. To determine concentrations of TFM and TFM glucuronide in the edible fillet tissue of fish during sea lamprey control treatments, an analytical method was developed to determine the concentrations of these residues in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss; RBT) and channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatis; CCF). Homogenized fillets were extracted with methanol-water (80 + 20). TFM and TFM glucuronide were isolated from coextractives by C18 solid-phase extraction. TFM glucuronide was hydrolyzed to TFM by the addition of beta-glucuronidase to the TFM glucuronide extract. The extracts were analyzed separately by liquid chromatography with UV-visible detection. Recoveries from TFM-fortified CCF and RBT tissues were 84.1 and 96.1%, respectively. The method detection limits (MDLs) are 2.4 ng/g for TFM-fortified tissues of CCF and 3 ng/g for those of RBT. Recoveries were 78.8 and 77% from TFM glucuronide-fortified CCF and RBT tissues, respectively. The MDLs for TFM glucuronide-fortified tissues are 3.5 and 6.9 ng/g for CCF and RBT, respectively.
