Cultured diploid human skin fibroblasts were fractionated by a procedure that maximizes recovery of particles containing acid hydrolases. The cells were detached by controlled trypsinization, disrupted by N2 cavitation at low pressure and fractionated at 18,000 .times. g on a self-generating gradient of colloidal silica. This procedure separated 2 species of particles that could be considered lysosomal. The denser one (peak density 1.11) was apparently free of other contaminants, but the more buoyant one (peak density 1.085) sedimented with or close to the peaks of other organelles, including mitochondria, Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membranes. The 2 populations of particles contained acid hydrolases (phosphatase, 6 glycosidases and 4 cathepsins) in roughly equal proportions, displayed latency, had similar turnover of 35S-mucopolysaccharide in normal and in iduronidase-deficient cells, and were recipients of .alpha.-L-iduronidase, previously shown to be acquired by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Acid phosphatase staining of the intact fibroblasts showed residual bodies scattered throughout the cytoplasm and, near the nucleus, a prominent network of tubules and associated dilatations and knob-like enlargements. In both thin and thick sections, these appeared continuous, as if forming a 3-dimensional network similar to the network described as GERL [Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes]. Ultrastructural studies of the isolated fractions showed the denser lysosomal peak to be composed of small round or oblong acid phosphatase-positive bodies. The more buoyant peak contained the nonlysosomal organelles predicted from the biochemical markers, small acid phosphatase-positive bodies and large multivesiculated structures in which acid phosphastase was localized in a matrix surrounding apparently empty vesicles. These large structures may represent fragments of GERL. The dense and buoyant lysosomal organelles may originate primarily from residual bodies and from the GERL network, respectively.
