Immunological Inhibition of Lysosome Function

Abstract

Antibodies directed against soluble components from purified liver lysosomes are taken up by fibroblasts and to impair lysosomal function. As a result, lysosomal hydrolases are inhibited, the uptake and digestion of foreign protein are impaired and there is a marked increase in the size and number of lysosome-like cytoplasmic bodies—resembling the condition seen in many storage diseases.
