    Notes: Hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPR Tase; ECC 2.4.2.8) has been purified from rat brain 650-fold to about 50 per cent purity by conventional methods. An isoenzyme pattern of at least three components is observed on DEAE-cellulose chromatography. On polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis only one sharp band of enzyme activity can be detected. The apparent Km-value determined for phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) is about 0.2 mM. The product, GMP, and also GDP, GTP, UMP, CMP, AMP and ATP are competitive inhibitors with respect to PRPP. Inhibition by a number of other nucleotides has also been investigated. Studies on the development of enzyme activity in the brain of the young rat show that a rapid increase occurs during the first 15-20 days of life and reaches a plateau thereafter. The regional distribution of HGPRTase activity in adult rat brain is more homogenous than that reported for human brain. The enzyme is predominantly a constituent of the soluble supernatant fraction, but can also be found in carefully washed synaptosomes. An antiserum against rat brain HGPRTase obtained from rabbits inhibits this enzyme to about 30 per cent of control activity, but does not crossreact with HGPRTases from rabbit or human erythrocytes.

    Notes: Several monoclonal antibodies directed against the human CD14 antigen have been established. We now report that the antibody My4, but not LeuM3, reacts with porcine monocytes. Among porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), 14.6% of the cells stain with the CD14 antibody My4, which is similar to the percentage obtained with the antiporcine monocyte antibody 74-22-15. Two-colour immunofluorescence reveals that My4 and 74-22-15 antigens are coexpressed on the same cells, and cell sorter-purified My4+ cells exhibit the morphology of monocytes. Whole blood analysis (which also shows staining of granulocytes) reveals that the average percentage of My4+ monocytes amongst all leucocytes is 5.8% with 580 cells/μl. Furthermore, porcine peritoneal macrophages (PM) and alveolar macrophages (AM), both stain for My4, with a four-fold lower level on AM. Treatment of cells with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C decreases My4 staining, but does not affect staining with antibody 74-22-15. Immunoprecipitation with the My4 antibody from surface labelled pig mono-nuclear cells demonstrates a 54 kDa band similar to human CD14, and Western blotting with pig serum demonstrates two bands similar to the alpha and beta forms of human soluble CD14. Finally, the My4 antibody is capable of blocking lipopolysaccharide- (LPS)-induced interleukin-6 production in isolated PBMC. These data show that the My4 antibody recognizes genuine CD14 on porcine monocytes and macrophages.

    Notes: Summary 5′-Nucleotidase (5′-N) is known as a cellular ectoenzyme of wide tissue distribution. The varying expression of the enzyme in leukocytes is thought to be linked to cell differentiation. We, therefore, studied 5′-N activities of bone marrow or peripheral blood mononuclear cells in subgroups of leukemias and lymphomas as defined by morphology and immunological marker expression. In acute leukemias, elevated or very high enzyme activities were correlated with the expression of the common ALL antigen (cALLA). A similar correlation with cALLA was also observed for lymphoid blast crisis in CML. Therefore, 5′-N may be used as an additional diagnostic marker to discriminate cALLA positive leukemic cells from those not expressing cALLA. The 5′-N of leukemia cells of all patients tested gave complete crossreactivity with an antiserum directed against the normal human placental enzyme. Serum-5′-N was not well correlated with cellular enzyme activity in the same patient and therefore appears less suitable as diagnostic marker enzyme. However, elevated serum-5′-N was frequently observed in common ALL. Low enzyme activities in peripheral mononuclear cells were characteristic for some forms of lymphoma like CLL of B-type and hairy cell leukemia. In other lymphoma types, single patients with elevated or even extremely high 5′-N were found, for example in T-CLL, B-PLL and cc-lymphoma. With the limited data available it is too early to decide whether 5′-N could also become an additional useful biochemical marker for the classification of lymphoma subgroups. Though the investigations clearly indicate that 5′-N is not a specific marker for a leukemia or lymphoma subtype, the biochemically measurable variance of its expression appears to be a good indicator for the maturation degree of lymphatic cells.

    Notes: Abstract A patient with clearly developed features of the full Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and complete lack of activity of hypoxynthine-phosphoribosyl-transferase is described. The clinical picture was characterized by absence of spasticity, good control of autoaggression by behavior therapy, and no signs of renal insufficiency. After death, which was caused by a viral infection, pathological examination and a search for material immunologically crossreacting with hypoxanthine-phosphoribosyltransferase were possible. In spite of increased serum urate levels and raised urinary uric acid excretion there were no signs of urate deposits or damage in the internal organs, including the kidneys. Crossreactive material was found in the liver, kidneys and spleen, a relatively rare finding in the full Lesch-Nyhan-syndrome. The absence of any specific pathological changes in the brain of this patient is in agreement with earlier reports.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Activities of the ecto-enzymes 5′-nucleotidase (5′-N) and phosphatase were determined on the surface of intact cells from 15 different established lines of human B- and T-lymphoblasts. Whereas all the lines express phosphatase, 10 of the lines were negative for 5′-N. 5′-N-negative cell lines are found among B as well as T cells, and they do not carry cryptic enzyme activity. In a 5′-N-positive line activity of this enzyme is correlated with growth showing a peak during the logarithmic phase. On the other hand, inhibition of 5′-N does not change the growth curve of this line. Neuraminidase treatment of the cell surface brings about an increase in phosphatase but not in 5′-N activity. 5′-N of two B-cell lines and of human peripheral blood lymphocytes shows complete crossreactivity with an antiserum obtained against human placental 5′-N. However, the enzyme of one lymphoma line with B-cell properties (EHR-A-Ramos) does not cross-react with this serum. The results are discussed with respect to suitability of these lymphoblast lines as model systems for the study of immunodeficiencies.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Aktivitäten der Ektoenzyme 5′-Nukleotidase (5′-N) und Phosphatase wurden gemessen an intakten Zellen aus 15 verschiedenen etablierten Linien menschlicher B- und T-Lymphoblasten. Während Phosphatase auf allen Zellinien exprimiert wird, waren 10 der untersuchten Linien negativ für 5′-N. 5′-N-negative Linien finden sich sowohl unter B- als auch T-Zellen; sie tragen auch keine kryptische Enzymaktivität. In einer 5′-N-positiven Linie folgt die Enzymaktivität der Wachstumskurve mit einem Maximum während der logarithmischen Phase. Andererseits ändert Hemmung der 5′-N nichts an der Wachstumscharakteristik dieser Zellinie. Neuraminidasebehandlung der Zelloberfläche bringt eine Steigerung der Phosphatase-, nicht jedoch der 5′-N-Aktivität mit sich. 5′-N auf zwei B-Zellinien und auf menschlichen peripheren Blutlymphozyten zeigt komplette Kreuzreaktivität mit einem Antiserum gegen 5′-N aus menschlicher Plazenta. Dagegen kreuzreagiert 5′-N einer weiteren Lymphomlinie mit B-Zell-Eigenschaften (EHR-A-Ramos) nicht mit diesem Serum. Die Brauchbarkeit dieser Lymphoblastenlinien als Modellsysteme zum Studium von Immundefizienzen wird diskutiert.

    Notes: Summary High levels of the ectozyme 5′-nucleotidase (5′-N) and the common ALL-antigen (cALLA) are coexpressed on leukemic blast cells in common ALL, in the lymphoid blast crisis of CML and also on the lymphoblastoid cell-line Nalm-1. Clinically this coexpression can help to subclassify leukemias and may be of diagnostic and prognostic significance. In an attempt to study the mechanism underlying this simultaneous expression plasmamembrane subfractionation was undertaken on Nalm-1. When membrane-shedding from intact cells is induced by sublytic concentrations of the lysophosphatidyl-choline analogue ET-12-H, membrane subfractions are obtained which contain 30–40% of total cellular 5′-N, which is most of the enzyme carried on the cell surface, in a highly enriched form. Under these conditions only a very low release of intracellular enzymes is observed. On the other hand cALLA is not accumulated in these membrane fractions to any appreciable extent. The predominant part of this antigen is still on the intact cells remaining after the shedding procedure. It is concluded that the simultaneous expression of 5′-N and cALLA on Nalm-1 and leukemic blasts is not regulated by a physical association or a close neighborhood of these antigens on the membrane level.
