Release of arachidonic acid from 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl phosphatidylcholine (PAPC) by C. albicans lysates
Source of enzymatic activity | Arachidonic acid liberation from PAPC (μM/min) |
---|---|
cPLA2 (0.25 IU) | 2.4 ± 0.3 (5) |
ATCC 44808 | 1.1 ± 0.2 (3) |
KH44-13 | 0.55 ± 0.1 (3) |
KH44-91 | < 0.01 (3) |
KH44-KL | 0.73 ± 0.24 (3) |
The values of arachidonic acid liberation represent the mean and ± SD of the indicated number of experiments (denoted in parentheses). Cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) was used as control. Experimental conditions are described in Materials and methods.
