Ferritin synthesis in lymphocytes, polymorphs and monocytes.

A rapid two-stage method has been devised for the separation of different leucocyte populations from human blood. Different cell types can be obtained in an undamaged state and with little contamination. Ferritin and total protein synthesis has been determined by measuring [14C]leucine incorporation in culture media which contain varying amounts of added ferric iron or desferrioxamine. Both ferritin and total protein synthesis is greater in monocytes than in lymphocytes or polymorphs when the basal medium is used. Only monocytes show a consistent increase in ferritin production due to iron stimulation. Ferritin synthesis by monocytes, polymorphs and lymphocytes is inhibited in the presence of desferrioxamine.

Lipoprotein electrophoretic patterns, serum lipids, and coronary heart disease.

Lipoprotein electrophoresis was performed on serum from subjects with and without coronary heart disease, and the patterns compared with the serum concentrations of triglyceride and cholesterol. The beta- and pre-beta-lipoproteins, expressed as a percentage of the total lipoprotein, correlate strongly with the cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, respectively. The beta- and pre-beta-lipoprotein concentrations are even more strongly correlated with these lipid measurements. The lipoprotein pattern does not have greater discriminant value for coronary heart disease than does the triglyceride or cholesterol concentration. There would seem to be little justification for the use of lipoprotein electrophoresis in screening the general population for coronary heart disease.
