1. A method for the isolation of functionally intact mitochondria from lymphocytes is described. It involves digitonin breakage of the plasma membrane, followed by differential centrifugation. The yield was 36 mg of mitochondrial protein/200 g of pig mesenteric lymph node (6 mg of mitochondrial protein/10(9) lymphocytes). The mitochondrial had a respiratory-control ratio of 2--3.5 with succinate as substrate. 2. Ca2+ transport by these mitochondria was investigated. They were able to regulate the extramitochondrial free [Ca2+] very precisely, by buffering any displacements from the steady-state. The exact extramitochondrial free [Ca2+] of this steady-state depended on the conditions of incubation. In a medium designed to resemble the cytoplasmic environment, with added Ca2+, lymphocyte mitochondria maintained a steady-state free [Ca2+] of 0.63 microM (pCa of 6.2). The rates of Ca2+ uptake and efflux under these conditions, with both lymphocyte and liver mitochondria, were very much lower than those in a less complex medium. 3. Lymphocyte mitochondria were shown to possess an Na+-independent Ruthenium Red-insensitive efflux pathway similar to that of liver mitochondria. Ruthenium Red totally inhibited the electrophoretic uniporter. Although Na+ had no effect on the steady-state maintained by lymphocyte mitochondria, they were shown to possess an Na+/H+ antiporter.
