Biochemical study of cellular antigen-antibody reaction in tissue culture. I. Activation and release of a protease.

The correlation between morphological and biochemical changes produced by the antigen-antibody reaction was studied in cultures of tissue monocytes taken from sensitized animals. The cells were grown under conditions which allowed collection of samples from the culture fluid as well as microscopic observation. Introduction of the antigen into the culture medium causes rapid release of a protease characterized by its susceptibility to sulfhydryl block and its optimum pH in the neutral range. Protease activation occurs simultaneously with morphological changes in the cytoplasm of the cultured cells. Delayed changes affecting the mitochondria and Golgi bodies appear after the peak of the proteolytic reaction and may be secondary to it. The gradual inactivation of the protease observed in the course of the antigen-antibody reaction will be discussed in a separate paper.

Biochemical study of cellular antigen-antibody reaction in tissue culture. II. Release of a protease inhibitor.

Decrease in the protease activity of the culture fluid observed at later stages of the antigen-antibody reaction is believed to be due to the release of an inhibitor by the cells. The inhibitor was submitted to partial purification: it is heat-stable, non-precipitated by trichloracetic acid and non-dialyzable. It inhibits certain cellular and tissue proteases and papain but is inactive against trypsin. It is suggested that the balance between protease and anti-protease released may determine the intensity, extent, and duration of certain sensitization phenomena.
