Abstract

Glucose oxidase generates H2O2 via the conversion of glucose to gluconolactone in the presence of molecular oxygen. Coupling of this reaction to the lactoperoxidase-catalyzed substitution of iodine for hydrogen on the phenolic side chains of proteins present on the surfaces of murine myeloma cells leads to a very marked increase in incorporation of radioactivity as well as a significant improvement of cell survival.
