Porcine pancreatic elastase was used to isolate type II cells from the lungs of rats. Yield and purity of the type II cells were better than that obtained by methods using trypsin. In 102 experiments 82 .+-. 23 .cntdot. 106 cells/rat were obtained, 68 .+-. 11% (mean .+-. SD) of which were type II cells. This preparation of cells, when centrifuged over a discontinuous density gradient, yielded 25 .+-. 10 .cntdot. 106 cells/rat, 80 .+-. 13% of which were type II cells (n = 102). The cells, after density gradient centrifugation, could be further purified by centrifugal elutriation (94 .+-. 3% type II cells, n = 22) or adherence in primary culture (94 .+-. 2% type II cells, n = 34). Type II cells isolated with elastase are similar morphologically and biochemically to type II cells isolated from rats with trypsin. The preparations of cells appeared healthy by several different criteria: ultrastructure, exclusion of vital dye, lack of stimulation of O2 consumption by exogenous sodium succinate and linear rates of oxidation of [1-14C]palmitic acid and of incorporation of [1-14C]acetate into fatty acids. Type II cells consumed 75 .+-. 20 nmol O2/106 cell per h, oxidized [1-14C]palmitic acid at a rate of 0.4 nmol/106 cells per h and incorporated [1-14C]acetate into fatty acids at a rate of 7.5 nmol/106 cells per h.
