Bactericidal activity in fractionated granule contents from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes: studies with leukocytes from normal individuals.
Sephadex G-100 chromatographic fractions of granule extracts from normal human polymorphonuclear leukocytes, exhibiting differences from fractions previously obtained from leukemic polymorphonuclear leukocytes, possessed cationic proteins with distinct bactericidal activity against cell wall mutants of Salmonella typhimurium LT2.
متن کاملIn vitro bactericidal capacity of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes: diminished activity in chronic granulomatous disease of childhood.
Diminished bactericidal capacity was found to be characteristic of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) from five children with the clinical syndrome of granulomatous disease of childhood. The PMN from these children demonstrated nearly normal phagocytic capacity, and the majority of viable bacteria, after 2 hours of incubation in the phagocytosis system, were found associated with leukocytes. Th...
متن کاملChemotaxis by polymorphonuclear leukocytes
The ability of a cell or organism to direct its movement along a chemical gradient has fascinated biologists for over 100 yr. This process of chemotaxis requires transformation of directional information from the environment into a series of cellular responses resulting in directional movement. Many lower organisms including bacteria, protozoa, and slime molds exhibit chemotaxis. This ability h...
متن کاملFunctional activity of enucleated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes
Enucleated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) were prepared by centrifuging isolated, intact PMN over a discontinuous Ficoll gradient that contained 20 microM cytochalasin B. The enucleated cells (PMN cytoplasts) contained about one-third of the plasma membrane and about one-half of the cytoplasm present in intact PMN. The PMN cytoplasts contained no nucleus and hardly any granules. The v...
متن کاملKilling of gram-negative bacteria by polymorphonuclear leukocytes: role of an O2-independent bactericidal system.
Previous studies have suggested that a cationic bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) present in both rabbit and human polymorphonuclear leukocytes is the principal O2-independent bactericidal agent of these cells toward several strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium (1978. J. Biol. Chem. 253: 2664--2672; 1979. J. Biol. Chem. 254: 11000--11009). To further evaluate ...
