  • (11) Leukotriene C4 (LTC4) synthase was solubilized from the microsomes of guinea-pig lung by the new procedures of a combination of 3-[3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio)-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), digitonin and KCl.

  • (14) The chap who assessed my brother was a physiotherapist,” she said.
  • (15) The augmentation of tone was endothelium-dependent as it did not occur following functional destruction of the endothelium by perfusion of the vascular bed with the detergent CHAPS (0.3%) for 150s.
  • (16) Isoelectric focusing in 2% 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) without urea gives good results as does 2% Nonidet-P40 with 8 M urea.
  • (17) Sodium nitroprusside was approximately 200 times less potent than acetylcholine in the presence of the endothelium and was the only vasorelaxant to be active after destruction of the endothelium by perfusion with 0.3% CHAPS; in the absence of the endothelium it was 3.7 times more potent as a vasodilator than in its presence.
