title: Clearance of LDH-5 from the circulation of inbred mice correlates with binding to macrophages.
abstract: Flow cytometry showed that the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH-5) binds to peritoneal macrophages. The degree of binding appears to be genetically controlled and varies depending on the inbred strain of mouse. The rate at which LDH-5 is cleared from the circulation correlates with the degree of binding to macrophages. These findings suggest that the binding of LDH-5 to macrophages may serve as an in-vitro index of enzyme clearance.
