| Abstract | Rat hepatocytes prepared by collagenase perfusion of the liver are known to exhibit increased binding of asialoorosomucoid (ASOR) after prior treatment with EDTA or after warming at 37 degrees C. The cause of the apparent increase in the surface binding activity of the galactose/N-acetylgalactosamine (Gal/GalNAc) receptor on freshly isolated rat hepatocytes was investigated. Binding experiments using three different galactose-terminated ligands revealed up to a 2- to 6-fold increase in the level of surface receptor sites on rat hepatocytes upon prior incubation at 4 degrees C with 10 mM GalNAc or 10 mM EDTA or at 37 degrees C compared to untreated cells. With digitonin-permeabilized cells, it was shown that the newly exposed receptor sites most likely originated from masked surface receptor sites, as no alteration in the size of the internal pool of receptor was observed. Collagenase preparations were found to inhibit the binding of 125I-labeled ASOR to the Gal/GalNAc receptor. Exposure of hepatocytes to collagenase resulted in a significant decrease in 125I-labeled ASOR binding, which was reversible upon treatment with GalNAc or EDTA at 4 degrees C or upon warming at 37 degrees C. Perfusion of EDTA through the isolated whole liver at 0-2 degrees C to remove any possible bound endogenous ligands did not result in a significant increase in the level of 125I-labeled ASOR binding, while perfusion of collagenase caused a marked decrease in the binding activity of the liver. We conclude that the enhancement of Gal/GalNAc receptor activity on the surface of freshly isolated hepatocytes by temperature and EDTA is potentially an artifact of the collagenase perfusion method. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
