In Vivo Detoxification of Endotoxin by the Reticuloendothelial System
Evidence is presented that The normal RES extracts endotoxin from the circulation and inactivates it very rapidly. When the RES has been damaged, whether by a blockading agent, such as thorotrast, or by a reversible degree of hemorrhagic shock, it cannot extract more than a small per cent of the amount of the endotoxin the normal system can extract. Of that fraction of endotoxin which is extrac...
متن کاملOpsonic activity, phagocytosis, and bactericidal capacity of polymorphs in undernutrition.
in undernutrition. Fifteen undernourished infants and children were studied for opsonic activity of plasma, and for phagocytosis and intracellular bactericidal capacity of polymorphonuclear leucocytes. The opsonic activity was slightly increased and there was a significant decrease in bacterial killing by polymorphs of malnourished individuals compared with healthy controls. Phagocytosis was co...
متن کاملReticuloendothelial system and hepatocytic function in fulminant hepatic failure.
Kupffer cell and hepatocyte function were studied in 36 patients with fulminant hepatic failure by measurement of clearance of 125I microaggregated albumin (125IMAA) and galactose, respectively. Both were impaired but there was no correlation with final outcome, although on sequential testing 48 hours later, those patients who survived had a significantly greater improvement in Kupffer cell and...
متن کاملDecreased neutrophil bactericidal activity during phagocytosis of a slime-producing Staphylococcus aureus strain.
Phagocytosis and intracellular killing by bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) are important host defence mechanisms against mastitis caused by Staphlylococcus aureus. We compared the phagocytosis and overall killing of a non slime-producing (NSP) S. aureus and its slime-producing (SP) variant by blood PMN, using an in vitro bacteriological assay. Seven clinically healthy Holstein-Friesian...
متن کاملNF-κB activation is critical for bacterial lipoprotein tolerance-enhanced bactericidal activity in macrophages during microbial infection
Tolerance to bacterial components represents an essential regulatory mechanism during bacterial infection. Bacterial lipoprotein (BLP)-induced tolerance confers protection against microbial sepsis by attenuating inflammatory responses and augmenting antimicrobial activity in innate phagocytes. It has been well-documented that BLP tolerance-attenuated proinflammatory cytokine production is assoc...
