Effects of immunoinhibition with an anti-CYP2E1 Mab on levels of covalent binding of [ethyl-14C]EC to liver microsomal proteins

Experiment4-aCovalent Binding4-b
pmol [ethyl-14C]EC/mg protein
−Mab + EC − NADPH3.09  ± 0.26
−Mab + EC + NADPH12.34  ± 1.564-c
+Mab + EC + NADPH4.42  ± 0.42

  • 4-a Liver microsomes were incubated with an anti-CYP2E1 inhibitory antibody (Mab 1-91-3) or a nonspecific antibody (Mab HyHel 9) at an antibody protein/microsomal protein ratio of 0.5.

  • 4-b Data are expressed as mean ± SD of quadruplicate determinations from three or four different microsomal preparations. Pairwise multiple comparisons of experimental groups were performed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test (p < 0.05).

  • 4-c Significantly different from −Mab + EC − NADPH and +Mab + EC + NADPH.
