Inhibition of the O2- -generating NADPH oxidase of guinea-pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes by rabbit antibody to homologous liver NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450) reductase. 1984

H Takayama, and S Iwaki, and K Tamoto, and J Koyama

Rabbit antibody highly specific for guinea-pig liver NADPH-cytochrome c (P-450) reductase was found to inhibit dose-dependently the O2- -generating activity of the membrane fraction isolated from phorbol-myristate acetate-stimulated, homologous polymorphonuclear leukocytes. In addition, the antibody also could inhibit the NADPH-cytochrome c (Nitroblue tetrazolium) reductase separated from the membrane fractions and phagosomes of leukocytes by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or gel filtration on a Sephacryl S-300 column in the presence of 0.2% Triton X-100. These results demonstrate that the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase in the membrane fractions of leukocytes is antigenically cross-reactive with homologous liver NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, and also suggest that the enzyme of leukocytes participates in the respiratory burst.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D009247 NADH, NADPH Oxidoreductases A group of oxidoreductases that act on NADH or NADPH. In general, enzymes using NADH or NADPH to reduce a substrate are classified according to the reverse reaction, in which NAD+ or NADP+ is formally regarded as an acceptor. This subclass includes only those enzymes in which some other redox carrier is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p100) EC 1.6.
