The intracellular site of operation of the myeloperoxidase-H2O2-halide antibacterial system of granulocytes has been determined by utilizing measurements of the fixation of iodide to trichloracetic acid (TCA) precipitates of subcellular fractions, including intact phagocytic vesicles. Na125I was added to suspensions of guinea pig granulocytes in Krebs-Ringer phosphate buffer, and they were then permitted to phagocytize different particles. Phagocytic vesicles were formed by allowing cells to ingest a paraffin oil emulsion (POE) and collected by flotation on sucrose after homogenization. Measurement of 125I bound to TCA precipitates of the different fractions and the homogenates disclosed that the lysosome-rich fraction obtained by centrifugation from control (nonphagocytizing) cells accounted for a mean 93.1% of the total cellular activity. With phagocytosis of POE, TCA-precipitable iodination increased two- to sevenfold, and the lysosomal contribution fell to a mean 36.9% of the total. The appearance of activity within phagocytic vesicles accounted for almost the entire increase seen with phagocytosis (a mean 75.7%), and iodide was bound within these structures with high specific activity. More iodide was taken up by cells than fixed, regardless of iodide concentration, and was distributed widely throughout the cell rather than selectively trapped within the vesicles.
