Formation of phagolysosomes containing dextran and Triton WR 1339 in mouse liver

After injection of Triton WR 1339 and dextran into mice, phagolysosomes containing both compounds were obtained from the liver regardless of the order of injection of these materials. This suggests that phagososomes containing the other material. The recoveries of various lysosomal enzymes differed in phagolysosomes after injection of Triton WR 1339 with or without dextran: recoveries of beta-glucuronidase, beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase and arylsulfatase were high, and that of acid phosphatase was low.
