Human eosinophilic peroxidase: role in bactericidal activity.
Peroxidase, present in both neutrophils and eosinophils, is thought to be involved in the bactericidal activity of leukocytes, through either the decarboxylation of amino acids in the presence of chloride or the iodination of proteins in the presence of iodide. We examined these activities in sonic extracts of purified neutrophils and eosinophils and related them to the ability of the extracts ...
متن کاملMouse splenic peroxidase and its role in bactericidal activity.
Spleen cell suspensions from AKR and CD-1 mice contain peroxidase activity as determined by guaiacol oxidation. This activity is found predominately in the 20,000 x g pellet fraction of spleen cell homogenates. In the presence of H(2)O(2) and chloride ion at acidic pH, splenic peroxidase mediates the oxidation of d- or l-alanine to CO(2), NH(3), and acetaldehyde. The same reaction mixture witho...
متن کاملBactericidal activity of human eosinophilic granulocytes against Escherichia coli.
Eosinophils participate in allergic inflammation and may have roles in the body's defense against helminthic infestation. Even under noninflammatory conditions, eosinophils are present in the mucosa of the large intestine, where large numbers of gram-negative bacteria reside. Therefore, roles for eosinophils in host defenses against bacterial invasion are possible. In a system for bacterial via...
متن کاملThe role of peroxidase in the bactericidal activity of human blood eosinophils.
Utilizing cell preparations that contained greater than 90% eosinophils and sodium azide to inhibit the lysosomal enzyme peroxidase, studies of eosinophil bactericidal activity were undertaken. Eosinophils did not kill bacteria as well as neutrophils, principally because of a reduced phagocytic capacity. In contrast to neutrophils, eosinophils had high resting iodination activity but failed to ...
متن کاملRole of fibronectin in human monocyte and macrophage bactericidal activity.
Fibronectin is a high-molecular-weight glycoprotein found as a soluble dimer in plasma and as an insoluble multimer in tissues. It has been proposed that plasma fibronectin facilitates phagocytic removal of lysed cells and damaged tissues. Fibronectin binds avidly to several species of gram-positive bacteria and enhances staphylococcal and streptococcal attachment to cultured cells. Determinati...
