MATERIALS AND METHODSPartially purified human ceruloplasmin (type III) was obtained from Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, as a 5.0% solution in 0.25 M NaCl, 0.05 M sodium acetate, pH 7.0. Also obtained from Sigma were o-dianisidine dihyclrochloride, nitroblue tetrazolium, xanthine oxidaae (EC 1.2. 3.2), ferricytochrome c, hypoxanthine, riboflavin, and sodium ascorbate. Bio-Phore polyacrylamide gels and Chelex 100 were from Bio-Rad Laboratories, Richmond, CA. Acetaldehyde and chloroform were from the Eastman Chemical Co., Rochester, NY. Sephacryl S-200 was from Pharmacia Fine Chemicals, Piscataway, NJ; phosphatidylcholine from Grand Island Biological Co., Grand Island, NY, and stearylamine from K & K Laboratories Inc., Plainview, NJ. Other reagent grade chemicals were from the Fisher Scientific Co., Fairlawn, NJ.Purification of Ceruloplasmin-Partially purified human ceruloplasmin was subjected to molecular sieve chromatography on Se-phacryl S-200 employing phosphate (0.01 M)-buffered 0.14 M NaCl, pH 7.4, as the eluant. Fractions were assayed for ceruloplasmin oxidase activity by employing o-dianisidine dihydrochloride in 0.1 M acetate buffer, pH 5.0, as substrate(18). Fractions were also assaved by measuring absorbance at 610 nm and at 280 nm (19). Only those fractions with an absorbance ratio (610 nm/280 nm) exceeding 0.040 were employed in the studies described below. These were considered to be greater than 90% pure ceruloplasmin(19). Concentrations of ceruloplasmin were calculated according to the absorbance coefficient at 610 nm, Ef’f, 0.68 (20). Some fractions were purified further by passage through columns of Chelex 100, previously equilibrated with ahosnhate-buffered 0.14 M NaCl, pH 7.4. Od.-scavenging Activity of C&doplasmin-The ability of ceruloplasmin to scavenge 02-s and thereby inhibit reactions mediated by OZ-. was assayed by measuring inhibition of reduction of ferricytochrome c and nitroblue tetrazolium mediated by the aerobic action of xanthine oxidase on two substrates, hypoxanthine and acetaldehyde (21-23). Reduction of ferricytochrome c to ferrocvtochrome c and of NBT’ to formazan were measured at 550 nm and 560 nm, respectively, at room temperature(21-23 C) in a Beckman model 25 recording ipectrophotometer.
