Peritoneal cells and adherent cells of mice and rats synthesized LTC4and LTB4when stimulated with A23187in vitro. On the other hand, neither peritoneal cells nor adherent cells of guinea pigs generated LTC4, D4, and E4, but did the lower amounts of LTB4. Only generation of LTB4was potentiated by simultaneous addition of 10 μM A.A. in this species. Enzyme solutions which were extracted from peritoneal cells of these three species were capable of converting DNCB to a colored product in the presence of glutathione and then these potencies were in the following order; guinea pig > mouse > rat. On the other hand, the potencies of converting LTA4to LTC4in the presence of glutathione were in the following order; mouse > rat ≫ guinea pig ≈ 0. These results suggest that macrophages of guinea pigs lack “LTC4synthetase” and also this enzyme is different from usual GSH S-transferases.
