HPLC chromatograms demonstrating the subcellular distribution of LTC4 synthase activity in CML CD16+ neutrophils.
CD16+ neutrophils from CML patients were subjected to subcellular fractionation as described in Materials and Methods. Cytosolic (upper panel) and microsomal (lower panel) fractions were incubated with LTA4 (60 μmol/L) and glutathione (5 mmol/L) in the presence of 0.05% BSA at 20°C for 10 minutes. Absorbance was measured at 280 nm. The retention times of LT standards are indicated. One representative experiment out of 4 is shown.
