title: Identification of different charged species of a human monocyte derived neutrophil activating peptide (MONAP).
abstract: Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human monocytes secrete a 10 kD peptide (MONAP) of high neutrophil, not however monocyte or eosinophil stimulating activity. By reversed phase HPLC MONAP could be distinguished from Interleukin 1. Analytic isoelecto-focusing of pure MONAP (single line upon sodiumdodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, single peak after RP-18-HPLC), obtained by size exclusion HPLC followed by two different reversed phase HPLC steps revealed charge heterogeneity giving major components with isoelectric points at 4.7, 4.9, 6.4 and 6.9, all of which exhibited chemotactic activity.
