The subcellular localization of beta2-microglobulin (beta 2m) in human neutrophils was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on subcellular fractions obtained by Percoll density gradient centrifugation of neutrophils disrupted by nitrogen cavitation. The neutrophils were found to contain 160 ng beta 2m/mg protein. Approximately two-thirds co-located with the markers for specific granules and was released from intact cells during degranulation, whereas one-third of the beta 2m was located together with markers of the plasma membrane. This fraction was not further enriched during degranulation. These results indicate that beta 2m cannot be universally used as a plasma membrane marker as hitherto assumed, but beta 2m may serve as an indicator of neutrophil degranulation.
