Further similarities of endogenous pyrogen and leukocytic endogenous mediator

R. F. Kampschmidt, L. A. Pulliam and C. R. Merriman

The release of endogenous pyrogen (EP) from rabbit peritoneal granulocytes was measured with a three-point log dose-response curve. Release of EP was inhibited when the cells were incubated in media containing potassium or calcium. Measurements of leukocytic endogenous mediator (LEM) activity, i.e., lowering of plasma iron and zinc and increases in blood neutrophils, were made on the same supernatant media. When EP release was inhibited there was a similar inhibition of LEM activity. These results indicate a similarity between the release of pyrogenic and LEM activities. Together with previous purification studies, the results suggest that EP and LEM are similar and may be identical factors.
