Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase was purified from human eosinophil-enriched leukocytes after showing that 15-lipoxygenase activity was 100-fold greater in eosinophils than in neutrophils. Partial purification was achieved using ammonium sulfate precipitation, cation-exchange and hydrophobic-interaction chromatography. New evidence is presented suggesting that 15-lipoxygenase has electrostatic and hydrophobic properties distinct from 5-lipoxygenase. In addition, ATP is shown to inhibit, and phosphatidylcholine is shown to stimulate, 15-lipoxygenase, suggesting a regulatory role for these compounds in the lipoxygenation of arachidonic acid.

D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
D002852 Chromatography, Ion Exchange Separation technique in which the stationary phase consists of ion exchange resins. The resins contain loosely held small ions that easily exchange places with other small ions of like charge present in solutions washed over the resins.
