CORNELL, ROBERT P., AND THOMAS M. SABA. Bioassay of serum opsonin and its depletion after colloid clearance in dogs. Am. J. Physiol. 223 (3): 569-574. 1972.-The validity of an in vitro rat liver slice biassay for the determination of opsonic or humoral recognition factor (HRF) activity in heterologous dog serum as well as factors regulating hepatic phagocytosis was investigated, utilizing the gelatinized 1311-labeled RE-test-lipid emulsion. Phagocytosis by rat hepatic macrophages was significantly (P< 0.01) altered by medium serum concentration, incubation duration, and incubation temperature, with maximal uptake occurring at a serum concentration above 50% by 30 min at 37 C. Comparable to homologous serum studies, a marked heparin dependency for the opsonic stimulation of hepatic uptake by dog serum was observed. The validity and precision of the opsonin bioassay was demonstrated by measuring the temporal changes in the circulating level of opsonic activity in dogs following intravascular colloid clearance utilizing doses of 100, 300, and 500 mg/kg body wt. Both the degree of serum opsonin depletion and its rate of restoration were directly and quantitatively related to the colloid dose. The kinetics of the recovery process suggested the presence of two pools of opsonic protein in the body, ie, a “circulating or intravascular pool” and a “storage or extravascular pool.” hepatic clearance; reticuloendothelial function and regulation; heparinTHE CENTRAL ROLE of the macrophage or reticuloendothelial system (RES) in the physiologic clearance and intracellular degradation of foreign and effete particulate matter (2, 4, 7, 32) as well its involvement in the afferent arc of the immune response (11, 12, 14) is well documented. In this regard, participation of macrophages in such host defense activities is highly dependent on their ability to rapidly and selectively phagocytize toxic and/or antigenic material. While phagocytosis has been shown to be influenced by a variety of biochemical and physiologic factors such as metabolic and circulatory stability (2, 7, 32), substantial evidence indicates that the circulating level of specific serum proteins called opsonins (4, 32, 42) or humoral recognition factors (HRF)(28) is a determinant of intravascular phagocytosis by the RES (10, 15, 18, 24, 26, 32, 36, 37). Opsonic protein not only enhances the phagocytic process, but its activity may also be critical in promoting the intracellular degradative or bactericidal activity of RE macrophages(16, 17, 3 1). Recent studies by Saba and DiLuzio(33, 37, 38) have led to the development of an in vitro tissue slice bioassay for the rapid determination of serum opsonic or HRF (28) activity. This technique measures serum opsonic activity in
