Antibodies of the IgM type present in rabbit anti-epiglycanin antiserum were purified by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation and by ion-exchange, affinity and gel-filtration chromatography. After papain treatment of this fraction, followed by gel filtration, the fraction with highest apparent Mr was incubated with epiglycanin, and the antigen-antibody complexes separated by gel filtration. These were examined by electron microscopy, using rotational shadow casting, and the photographs of the complexes were mapped for the locations of the antibody molecules on the extended epiglycanin molecules. Distribution of the frequency of attachment of immunoglobulin showed a strong tendency toward binding at one end of epiglycanin, suggesting the probable presence of only one epitope, probably a glycopeptide structure containing a beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose chain.

The protein in the properdin pathway responsible for conversion of precursor factor D to D has been isolated and found to be identical with properdin. Sequential ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography demonstrated identity between properdin protein, measured by radial immunodiffusion, and the capacity to activate D to D, assessed by formation of the intermediate, EAC43B(D). Properdin, purified in this manner, was homogeneous on acid polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoretic analysis, with the band of protein corresponding to the position of eluates in the replicate gel capable of activating highly purified D. Demonstration of the homogeneity of purified D by alkaline disc gel electrophoresis, coupled with the linear stoichiometric hemolytic titrations of each factor, indicates that direct interaction between properdin and D generates D. Thus, activation of D by properdin represents a mechanism in the properdin pathway by which D becomes available for formation of the C3b-dependent C3 convertase.

Immunoreactive forms of gastrin in antral mucosal extracts and in gastric venous plasma of the pig were compared using ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography and radioimmunoassay using three region-specific antiserums. In antral mucosal extracts, gastrin heptadecapeptide (G-17) accounted for over 90% of the total C-terminal immunoreactivity, but in gastric venous plasma it accounted for only 47% of total C-terminal immunoreactivity. The remaining C-terminal immunoreactivity was accounted for by shorter C-terminal forms. Unsulfated and sulfated G-17 contributed 44.1 and 49.2%, respectively, of C-terminal immunoreactivity in antral mucosa. In contrast, they contributed 14 and 30%, respectively, to total C-terminal immunoreactivity in gastric venous plasma. Incubation of antral extracts with plasma in vitro resulted in a slow loss of intact G-17 (32.3% in 60 min) that could not account for the production of C-terminal fragments in vivo. Moreover, when antral extracts were infused into the gastroepiploic artery, over 90% of the gastrin present in the antral venous outflow corresponded to G-17. These observations suggest that it is unlikely that enzymes involved in the generation of the C-terminal forms are located either in blood or on the luminal side of the endothelial membrane. It is proposed, then, that antral gastrin is converted into shorter C-terminal fragments at or before the time it enters the circulation and that the major storage forms of gastrin in tissue account for less than 50% of the material in the gastric venous outflow.

We report here the isolation and sulphation isomer analyses of trisaccharides GalNAcS(β1,4)GlcA(β1,3)GalNAcS (in which S indicates sulphate) derived from the non-reducing termini of aggrecan chondroitin sulphate. Rat chondrosarcoma and human aggrecans were digested for 1 h at 37 °C with 30 μ-units of endo-chondroitinase ABC per μg of chondroitin sulphate, and trisaccharides were isolated from the digests by ToyoPearl HW40S gel-filtration chromatography. Four trisaccharide species were identified; their sulphation isomer compositions, as determined by digestion with chondroitinase ACII and fluorescence-based ion-exchange HPLC, were GalNAc4Sβ1,4GlcAβ1,3GalNAc4S, GalNAc4Sβ1,4GlcAβ1,3GalNAc6S, GalNAc4,6Sβ1,4GlcAβ1,3GalNAc4S and GalNAc4,6Sβ1,4GlcAβ1,3GalNAc6S. The abundances of such sequences in chondroitin sulphate on aggrecan from normal (foetal to 72 years of age) and from osteoarthritic human knee cartilages were also established. The results showed that non-reducing terminal GalNAc4S or GalNAc4,6S can be linked to either a 4-sulphated or a 6-sulphated disaccharide, suggesting that the sulphation of the last disaccharide might not have a direct effect on the specificity of chondroitin sulphate terminal GalNAc sulphotransferases. Furthermore, for each aggrecan preparation examined, the 4S-to-6S ratio of all chain interior disaccharides was equivalent to that in the last repeating disaccharides at the non-reducing terminus, suggesting that neither chondroitin 4-sulphotransferase nor chondroitin 6-sulphotransferase shows preferential activity near the chain terminus.

Inorganic pyrophosphatase (pyrophosphate phosphohydrolase; EC 3.6.1.1) was purified from pig scapula cartilage by fractionation with N-cetylpyridinium chloride and (NH4)2SO4, followed by ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. Enzyme preparations of high purity were obtained, with specific activities (100-400 units/mg) higher than those previously described for mammalian pyrophosphatases. The enzyme activity could be separated into several subfractions on ion-exchange columns.

SummaryA procedure is described for partial purification of an inhibitor of the activation of plasminogen by urokinase and streptokinase. The method involves specific adsorption of contammants, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and preparative electrophoresis. The inhibitor fraction contained no antiplasmin, no plasminogen, no α1-antitrypsin, no antithrombin-III and was shown not to be α2 M or inter-α-inhibitor. It contained traces of prothrombin and cerulo-plasmin. An antiserum against the inhibitor fraction capable of neutralising the inhibitor in serum was raised in rabbits.
