RESUMO
A method for the collection of rabbit nasal washings to analyse outputs of mucous glycoproteins is described. The radiolabels sodium [35S]sulphate and [3H]glucose are bound to the glycoproteins. The release of bound 35S and 3H was enhanced by cervical sympathetic nerve stimulation. Adrenoceptor agonists (phenylephrine, dobutamine and salbutamol) given I.V. increased the output of 35S, and the last two drugs increased the output of 3H. The blocking effects of thymoxamine and propranolol on these responses are described. Pilocarpine (given I.V. or intranasally) produced large increases in 35S release; histamine had little effect. Irritants (ammonia and cigarette smoke) and diluted serum or plasma, given intranasally, produced large increases in 3H output, and sometimes enhanced 35S release. Radiolabelled nasal washings fractionated on Sepharose CL-4B gel chromatography columns formed two peaks, with most of the radioactivity in the high molecular weight (mucous glycoprotein) peak.
