Perfringolysin O is a thiol-activated cytolytic exotoxin the primary receptor of which is the membrane cholesterol on the cell surface. The effect of perfringolysin O was tested in various hepatocyte preparations. (i) Smears of fresh liver exposed to a mild H2O2 (1.0 mM) injury for 10 min at 37 degrees C, develop a 'peroxide-induced autofluorescence' (PIAF) on the membrane proteins. PIAF is suitable for measuring the average lateral diffusion constant (D) of the membrane proteins by means of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching technique (FRAP). Incubation for 5 min with 600 or 2000 units/ml of the perfringolysin O resulted in a significant increase (32 and 46%, respectively) of D as compared to the controls of the same age group (13-14 months). Various tests like heat denaturation of cholesterol saturation of perfringolysin O before its application as well as thiol-activation of the smears with dithiothreitol revealed that the increase of D is a specific toxin effect due mot probably to the reaction of perfringolysin O with cholesterol. (ii) Isolated hepatocytes were exposed to perfringolysin O and their viability as well as the release of two cytosolic enzymes (lactate dehydrogenase and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) were measured; 40-60 units/ml of perfringolysin O in 30 min reduced the viability of the hepatocytes to zero and caused a release of about 70% of both cytosolic enzymes. The significance of the results is discussed from the points of view of both the toxin-effect and the FRAP method.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
