Endocytotic vesicles (i.e., endosomes) were prepared from rabbit renal cortex following the intravenous injection of horseradish peroxidase. The endosomal population was derived from a 100,000-g pellet and was found at equilibrium in the lightest area of a sucrose density gradient. This population was separate from other organelles as determined by enzyme markers and had a 2.5-fold enrichment of horseradish peroxidase specific activity compared with the homogenate specific activity corrected for soluble horseradish peroxidase activity. The endosomes contain an oligomycin-insensitive, electrogenic H+-translocating ATPase. They also contain an electroneutral Na+-H+ exchanger. This exchanger is not inhibited by amiloride, and lithium is not a substrate for the exchanger. Lithium does inhibit the Na+-H+ exchanger when added prior to the addition of sodium. The Michaelis constant for sodium of the endosomal Na+-H+ exchanger was found to be 10.0 mM. These data indicate that a population of endosomes from rabbit renal cortex contain an electrogenic H+-ATPase and an electroneutral Na+-H+ exchanger and that the exchanger is distinct from the brush-border membrane Na+-H+ antiporter.

Abstract We described the principle of a new enzyme-immunoassay, competitive enzyme-liked immunoassay (CELIA), for quantitative measurement of soluble antigens and haptens. In the assay, binding of antibody to antigen-immunosorbent is competitively inhibited by the free antigen to be measured. The amount of first antibody bound to the immunosorbent is measured by an enzymatic technique in which a heterologous bridging antibody and a soluble antibody/enzyme immune complex are applied in sequence. The soluble complex we used was rabbit antiperoxidase/horseradish peroxidase. Peroxidase activity is inversely proportional to the concentration in the original sample of the substance to be assayed. The enzyme-linked reagents are potentially widely applicable to any substance to be measured. To demonstrate the feasibility of CELIA, we report a preliminary study of its application to the measurement of human chloriogonadotropin in serum and urine. The assay described for this hormone has a working range of 1 to 50 int. units per milliliter of sample. The technique obviates the disadvantages associated with measurement and handling of radioisotopes in radioimmunoassays and the only major instrumentation required is a centrifuge and a conventional spectrophotometer.

The transient state kinetics of the oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) by horseradish peroxidase compound I and II (HRP-I and HRP-II) was investigated as a function of pH at 25.0 °C in aqueous solutions of ionic strength 0.11 using both a stopped-flow apparatus and a conventional spectrophotometer. In agreement with studies using many other substrates, the pH dependence of the HRP-I–NADH reaction can be explained in terms of a single ionization of pKa = 4.7 ± 0.5 at the active site of HRP-I. Contrary to studies with other substrates, the pH dependence of the HRP-H–NADH reaction can be interpreted in terms of a single ionization with pKa of 4.2 ± 1.4 at the active site of HRP-II. An apparent reversibility of the HRP-II–NADH reaction was observed. Over the pH range of 4–10 the rate constant for the reaction of HRP-I with NADH varied from 2.6 × 105 to5.6 × 102 M−1 s−1 and of HRP-II with NADH varied from 4.4 × 104 to 4.1 M−1 s−1. These rate constants must be taken into consideration to explain quantitatively the oxidase reaction of horseradish peroxidase with NADH.
