Defective opsonization. A common immunity deficiency.
Serum opsonization of yeasts for phagocytosis by normal polymorphonuclear leucocytes was defective in 11 of 43 children with unexplained frequent infections. The children had a range of infections, largely bacterial, and only 3 had diarrhoea and rash in infancy. A similar defect in at least 6 of the 9 mothers of these children (of either sex), with normal function in the fathers, suggests that ...
متن کاملDefective opsonization in multiple myeloma.
The mechanisms responsible for the unusual susceptibility of multiple myeloma (MM) patients to infections are incompletely defined. Since MM is associated with decreased production of normal serum proteins, we investigated the possibility that the production of opsonins might also be impaired. The neutrophil chemiluminescence assay of opsonization was used to evaluate the ability of serum from ...
متن کاملA Common Origin for Immunity and Digestion
Historically, the digestive and immune systems were viewed and studied as separate entities. However, there are remarkable similarities and shared functions in both nutrient acquisition and host defense. Here, I propose a common origin for both systems. This association provides a new prism for viewing the emergence and evolution of host defense mechanisms.
متن کاملSirt1-deficiency causes defective protein quality control
Protein quality control is an important mechanism to maintain cellular homeostasis. Damaged proteins have to be restored or eliminated by degradation, which is mainly achieved by molecular chaperones and the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase Sirt1 has been reported to play positive roles in the regulation of cellular homeostasis in response to various stresses. Howev...
متن کامل[Niacin deficiency and cutaneous immunity].
Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is required for the synthesis of coenzymes, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). Niacin binds with G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 109A on cutaneous Langerhans cells and causes vasodilation with flushing in head and neck area. Niacin deficiency due to excessive alcohol consumption, certain drugs or ina...
