Fragments of mouse diaphragm and sternomastoid muscles were incubated in diisopropyl-fluorophosphate (DFP)-(3)H in conditions known to saturate all the available DFP-sensitive reaction sites. After being extensively washed, the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChase) was specifically reactivated by treatment with pyridine-2-aldoxime methiodide (2-PAM). The radioactive DP-groups released into solution by 2-PAM were measured by liquid scintillation counting, and related to the known number of motor endplates present. Considerable difficulty was encountered in reducing the excess, adsorbed radioactivity to acceptable levels: long washing routines, extraction with organic solvents, and removing excess muscle fiber by microdissection were necessary. Six experiments gave a mean value of 2.4 x 10(7)molecules AChase per sternomastoid endplate, in reasonable agreement with the previously reported measurements by radioautography.
将小鼠膈肌和胸锁乳突肌的碎片在已知能使所有可用的二异丙基氟磷酸酯(DFP)-(3)H敏感反应位点饱和的条件下进行孵育。经过充分洗涤后,用吡啶-2-醛肟甲碘化物(2-PAM)处理使乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChase)特异性重新激活。通过液体闪烁计数测量2-PAM释放到溶液中的放射性DP基团,并将其与存在的运动终板的已知数量相关联。在将过量的吸附放射性降低到可接受水平时遇到了相当大的困难:需要长时间的洗涤程序、用有机溶剂萃取以及通过显微解剖去除多余的肌纤维。六个实验得出每个胸锁乳突肌终板的AChase分子平均值为2.4×10(7),这与先前通过放射自显影报道的测量结果相当一致。
