Fungal killing by mammalian phagocytic cells.
Phagocytes are considered the most important effector cells in the immune response against fungal infections. To exert their role, they must recognize the invading fungi, internalise, and kill them within the phagosome. Major advances in the field have elucidated the roles of pattern-recognition receptors in the innate immunity sensing and the importance of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species ...
متن کاملChemiluminescence of phagocytic cells caused by N-formylmethionyl peptides
N-formylmethionyl (F-Met) peptides, when added alone to macrophages or polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), were found to induce a chemiluminescent response of shorter duration than that produced by the commonly employed particulate stimulant, zymosan. The cellular nature of F-Met peptide-induced chemiluminescence was indicated by its dependence on cell concentration, and by its inhibition by ce...
متن کاملDiscrimination of Two Types of Phagocytic Cells in Differential Phagocytic Capacity of Mononuclear Cells
INTRODUCTION. By the use of the supravital technique, we think it is now possibIe to discriminate two distinct types of markedly phagocytic cells in the connective tissues, namely, clasmatocytes, which we shall also designate as wander&g endothdial phagocytes, and monocytes. The term monocyte was used by Naegeli to cover the transitional and large mononuclear forms of the bIood, in the sense of...
متن کاملV-ATPases in phagocytic cells.
V-ATPases in phagocytic cells are known to mediate the acidification of most intracellular organelles. Proton-pump-mediated acidification of these organellar compartments is vital to numerous cell processes, including receptor recycling, protein processing and sorting and microbial degradation. Recent studies have suggested a role for V-ATPases in cytoplasmic pH homeostasis. The present discuss...
متن کاملFree radicals and phagocytic cells.
Phagocytes mediate their innate immunological response by releasing products that damage invading microorganisms. These products include proteins such as lysozyme, peroxidases, and elastase as well as reactive oxygen species such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, hypohalous acid, and hydroxyl radical. Although it is clear that many phagocytic secretory products have direct cytotoxic potential, ...
