Abstract:A procedure for the immunoassay of cohydrolase sphingolipid-I in mouse tissue is described. This cohydrolase (actually a mixture of at least four related proteins) stimulates or activates the beta-glucosidase which hydrolyzes ceramide glucoside, a widely occurring glycosphingolipid. The method involves extraction of cohydrolase from tissue homogenate with a salt-buffer solution, removal of proteins by adjustment to pH 6, further removal of proteins by heating, and removal of interfering materials with a small size exclusion column. Antibodies were raised to bovine cohydrolase in rabbits and purified with an affinity column made from cohydrolase. The immunoassay involves binding of antibody by the cohydrolase sample (20-200 pg) in competition with cohydrolase that has been chemically linked to horseradish peroxidase. The mixture is treated with particle-linked second antibody and centrifuged; the pellet is then assayed fluorometrically for peroxidase content. Initial application of the method showed that cohydrolase was present in all mouse tissues studied and that its concentration paralleled that of glucocerebrosidase relatively closely. Changes with age (14 and 92 days) occurred in a similar fashion for the two substances.
