Characterization of pinocytic vesicles from CHO cells: resolution of pinosomes from lysosomes by analytical centrifugation

Characterization of pinocytic vesicles from CHO cells: resolution of pinosomes from lysosomes by analytical centrifugation

R R Pool Jr et al. Cell Biol Int Rep. 1983 May.

Abstract

Pinocytic vesicles (pinosomes) and lysosomes from suspension cultured, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-S) cells have been resolved as two non-overlapping organelle populations by analytical centrifugation in Percoll gradients. Pinosomes were labeled with either horseradish peroxidase (HRP), a fluid phase content marker, or by radioiodination by pinocytosed lactoperoxidase (LPO). CHO-S cell lysosomes followed by three different marker enzymes and electron microscopy behaved as a single, dense organelle population. Pinosomes were partially resolved from plasma membrane, a less dense organelle population.
