Max Schultze and the living, moving, phagocytosing leucocytes: 1865.
In his study, published in 1865,' of living human leucocytes examined at body temperature with the highest powers of the microscope then available, Schultze described for the first time four different types of leucocyte corresponding to what are now recognized as the lymphocyte, the monocyte, the neutrophil polymorphonuclear leucocyte, and the eosinophil leucocyte. The detail and precision of h...
متن کاملPhagocytosing Human Neutrophils
A B S T R A C T During phagocytosis, neutrophils generate reactive oxygen metabolites and release lysosomal enzymes into the extracellular medium. We have investigated the possibility that these enzymes are inactivated by the oxygen compounds. Phagocytosing neutrophils from 12 patients with chronic granulomatous disease, which do not generate these oxygen metabolites, released two to three time...
متن کاملThe chlorinating potential of the human monocyte.
Human monocytes incubated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or opsonized zymosan particles can chlorinate the beta-amino acid taurine to its monochloramine derivative. Taurine monochloramine can then be quantitated by its ability to oxidize 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid to its disulfide or by its characteristic absorption peak at 252 nm. Stimulated, but not resting, monocytes chlorinated taurin...
متن کاملChanges in the levels of glutathione in phagocytosing human neutrophils.
The tripeptide y-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine. or glutathione. protects cells against oxidative damage by its ability to react with free radicals and peroxides. From studies with human neutrophilic granulocytes deficient in glutathione metabolism. it is known that the protection by this compound is essential for the proper functioning of these cells. Previous studies have yielded conflicting esti...
متن کاملDegradation of thyroid hormones by phagocytosing human leukocytes.
Thyroxine (T(4)) and triiodothyronine (T(9)) are rapidly degraded by a purified preparation of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and H(2)O(2) with the formation of iodide and material which remains at the origin on paper chromatography. Deiodination by MPO and H(2)O(2) occurs more readily at pH 7.0 than at pH 5.0 in contrast to iodination by this system which is known to occur more readily at pH 5.0 than a...
