Impaired chemiluminescence during phagocytosis of opsonized bacteria.
A simple technique is presented for rapid screening of leukocytes of patients suspected of having a defective intracellular mechanism for the bactericidal and digestive disposal of bacteria.
متن کاملEnergy metabolism of human neutrophils during phagocytosis.
Detailed quantitative studies were performed on the generation and utilization of energy by resting and phagocytosing human neutrophils. The ATP content was 1.9 fmol/cell, was constant during rest, and was not influenced by the presence or absence of glucose in the medium. The intracellular content of phosphocreatine was less than 0.2 fmol/cell. In the presence of glucose, ATP was generated alm...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of Neutrophils
From the time that the inflammatory reaction was first characterized by its cardinal signs of color, rubor, tumor, et dolor, until the studies on phagocytosis by Metchnikoff, it was considered that this reaction by the organism was detrimental to its well being. Metchnikoff (1), however, saw the process of inflammation as a " . . . salutary reaction against some injurious influence." He stated ...
متن کاملHuman neutrophils employ chlorine gas as an oxidant during phagocytosis.
Reactive oxidants generated by phagocytes are of central importance in host defenses, tumor surveillance, and inflammation. One important pathway involves the generation of potent halogenating agents by the myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-chloride system. The chlorinating intermediate in these reactions is generally believed to be HOCl or its conjugate base, ClO-. However, HOCl is also in equ...
متن کاملIntracellular free calcium localization in neutrophils during phagocytosis.
Intracellular free calcium (Ca2+ i) is thought to be an important second messenger for phagocyte functions. The fluorescent indicator Quin2 was used to measure and visualize [Ca2+]i in human neutrophils during chemotaxis toward, and phagocytosis of, opsonized zymosan. In neutrophils migrating toward zymosan, [Ca2+]i was highest in the lamellipodium. Neutrophils ingesting opsonized zymosan had t...
