Enhancement of rIn:rCn-induced interferon production by amphotericin B.
When mouse L929 cells are treated with amphotericin B before exposure to polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid or polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid-dextran, they make significantly more interferon than do cells not receiving amphotericin. This effect may be due to enhanced cell membrane penetration by the polynucleotide.
متن کاملNeutrophil Superoxide Anion Production
Superoxide and other oxygen radicals produced by activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) may be important causes of tissue damage in a number ofinflammatory conditions. Therefore, a drug which suppresses PMN responses in vivo is potentially important. In vitro, pentoxifylline (PTOX) inhibits superoxide anion production when PMN are stimulated with an activated complement component (C5a Des...
متن کامل102 Enhancement of Macrophage Superoxide
In response to an appropriate stimulus such as phagocytosis of an opsonized particle, macrophages reduce oxygen, first to superoxide anion (O2-), 1 and then to hydrogen peroxide (H202) (1, 2). These metabolites of oxygen are involved in the killing of phagocytosed microorganisms (3). More recently, H202 has also been implicated in macrophage killing of lymphocyte tumor lines (4, 5). Macrophages...
متن کاملSuperoxide Anion Production by Human Neutrophils Activated by Trichomonas vaginalis
Neutrophils are the predominant inflammatory cells found in vaginal discharges of patients infected with Trichomonas vaginalis. In this study, we examined superoxide anion (O2 (.-)) production by neutrophils activated by T. vaginalis. Human neutrophils produced superoxide anions when stimulated with either a lysate of T. vaginalis, its membrane component (MC), or excretory-secretory product (ES...
متن کاملSuperoxide anion production by monocytes of corticosteroid-treated asthmatic patients.
Reactive oxygen species play an important role in promoting inflammation. Blood monocytes have been described to release higher amounts of superoxide anion in uncontrolled and untreated asthmatics. Corticosteroids are widely used in asthma, but little is known about their molecular mechanism of action. The aim of our study was to analyse the ex vivo effect of corticosteroid treatments on supero...
