Nitric oxide synthase is not a constituent of the antimicrobial armature of human mononuclear phagocytes.
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) has received immense interest as an antimicrobial and antitumoral effector system of mononuclear phagocytes from rodents. Because there is increasing doubt that an analogous system exists in human macrophages, NOS was reexamined in these cells. Under tightly controlled conditions, with murine macrophages as positive controls, human macrophages failed to secrete nitric oxide (< 0.1 mumol/10(6) cells/24 h), even after activation with endotoxin, interferon-gamma, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, bacteria, or proliferating lymphocytes. The discrepancy between murine and human macrophages depended on neither the anatomic source (blood, peritoneum), the agent used for activation, nor the duration of activation. NOS activity was paralleled by metabolization of L-arginine to L-citrulline. Exogenous tetrahydrobiopterin, an essential cofactor of NOS not synthesized by human macrophages, did not support NOS activity in human macrophages. Also, no NOS activity was found in cellular subfractions of human macrophages. It appears that in humans, the inducible high-output NOS is not conserved as an antimicrobial system of macrophages.M Schneemann, G Schoedon, S Hofer, N Blau, L Guerrero, A Schaffner

Sandwich enzyme immunoassay for murine IL-3.
A reproducible, sensitive immunoassay for murine interleukin-3 (IL-3) has been developed using two preparations of polyclonal antipeptide antibodies. Rabbits were immunized with the N-terminal peptide 1-29 (IL-3) coupled to KLH and the antibodies were affinity purified on immobilized peptide 1-29 (IL-3). This antibody preparation showed good reactivity with native IL-3, and was used to coat polyvinyl microtiter trays. IL-3 captured by this first antibody was detected by the addition of anti-IL-3 serum (second antibody) raised in sheep against synthetic full length IL-3 (1-140). This test reliably detects IL-3 from every source tested (T cells, WEHI-3B cells, recombinant material from transfected COS 7 cells or murine myeloid FDC-P1 cells transfected with an IL-3 containing retrovirus) with a sensitivity to 2 to 4 U/ml of bioactive IL-3 or about 60 pg synthetic IL-3/ml. The test is performed within 5 to 6 h compared to 2 to 3 d of a standard bioassay.H J Ziltener, I Clark-Lewis, S L McDonald

Development and characterization of antiserum to murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
The expression in yeast of a cDNA clone encoding murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has made possible the purification of large quantities of this recombinant protein. Rabbits immunized with pure recombinant GM-CSF generated antibodies that were shown to be specific for both recombinant GM-CSF and GM-CSF isolated from natural sources. Other lymphokines, including IL 1 beta, IL 2, IL 3, and recombinant human GM-CSF did not react with the antiserum. The antiserum, together with recombinant GM-CSF that had been radiolabeled with 125I to high specific activity, formed the foundation for a rapid, sensitive, and quantitative radioimmunoassay specific for murine GM-CSF. Furthermore, the antiserum was found to inhibit the biologic activities of GM-CSF as measured in both a bone marrow proliferation assay and a colony assay, and thus should prove to be a useful reagent for dissecting the complex growth factor activities involved in murine hematopoiesis.D Y Mochizuki, J R Eisenman, P J Conlon, L S Park, D L Urdal
