    Human colostral macrophages stimulated by opsonized zymosan or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) released superoxide anions (O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with activities comparable to those of monocytes and about one-fourth of those of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) of blood. The O2- -forming oxidase in the macrophages stimulated by PMA was dependent on NADPH as an electron donor with an apparent Km value for NADPH of 27.6 +/- 4.0 microM, which is comparable to those obtained for the stimulated monocytes and PMNL of blood. The Vmax was 1.86 +/- 0.33 nmol O2/min/10(6) cells, which is essentially the same as that of monocytes and about half of that of PMNL. p-Chloromercuribenzoate or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide completely inhibited oxidases of all three types of phagocytes. A b-type cytochrome was identified in the macrophages but the concentrations in the macrophages and monocytes were less than half of that in PMNL. These results suggest that the differences in the O2- -forming activities of the three types of phagocytes are quantitative rather than qualitative. The macrophages and monocytes showed very low activities of myeloperoxidase [EC 1.11.1.7] in contrast to PMNL. The activity of beta-glucuronidase [EC 3.2.1.31] in the macrophages was much higher than those of the monocytes and PMNL, but little difference was observed in the activities of lysozyme [EC 3.2.1.17], catalase [EC 1.11.1.6] and superoxide dismutase [EC 1.15.1.1] among the three types of phagocytes examined. Electron micrographs of the macrophages showed little increase of vacuoles upon exposure to PMA, in contrast to the cases of monocytes and PMNL.
