- Transient isotachophoresic (ITP) focusing was used for the on-line analysis of peptides by capillary zone electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CZE-MS), allowing injection volumes of up to 0.9 microL. A sheath liquid electrospray interface was used with a single quadrupole mass analyzer. First, the technique was applied to the qualitative analysis of a tryptic digest of cytochrome c, resulting in low-background, high-quality spectra. Second, the linear range was investigated by selected ion monitoring (SIM) for a peptidomimetic direct thrombin inhibitor melagatran (Mr 429.5) and two endogenous peptides, substance P (Mr 1348) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (alpha-CGRP; Mr 3806).

- The role of oral subepithelial mast cells in the defence against tumours is a matter of controversy. The effect of established and suggested carcinogens, such as the carcinogen 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO) and Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), in combination with oral snuff on lower lip subepithelial mast cells (MC) was studied in rats. The rats were exposed to prolonged use of oral snuff. The test substances were administered in a surgically created canal in the lower lip of the rats. There were 15 rats in each test group and 10 rats in the control group. The amount of countable subepithelial mast cells decreased significantly when the rat oral mucosa was exposed to the oral carcinogen 4-NQO but the effect of oral snuff and HSV-1 infection was weak. Our findings suggest that mast cells play a role in immunological cell defence against chemical carcinogens. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms.
