Nonoxidative microbicidal activity in normal human alveolar and peritoneal macrophages.
Although Toxoplasma gondii multiplies within normal murine alveolar and peritoneal macrophages, it is killed by normal rat alveolar and peritoneal macrophages. The killing by rat macrophages is by a nonoxidative mechanism. Studies on normal human alveolar macrophages have reported disparate results in regard to their ability to inhibit or kill T. gondii. We considered it of interest to explore ...
متن کاملSpecificity of rabbit antibodies elicited by related synthetic peptides.
Three 17-residue peptides, presenting from 65% to 70% sequence homology, and one endecapeptide, with no apparent homology with the first three, were chemically synthesized and investigated in their ability to elicit rabbit antipeptide antibodies. The complex cross reactivities of the antisera were investigated by testing the binding of the antibodies to the intact peptides, to their enzymatic f...
متن کاملCreatine phosphokinase activity in rabbit alveolar macrophages.
An enzyme is present in extracts of rabbit alveolar macrophage which can catalyze the reaction of creatine phosphate with adenosine diphosphate to form adenosine triphosphate and creatine. The enzyme is moderately activated by reduced glutathione, has a pH optimum between pH 6.5 and 7.0, and shows an absolute requirement for Mg(2+). The K(m) for creatine phosphate is approximately 3.6 mm while ...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition of Candida albicans by rabbit alveolar macrophages.
Normal rabbit alveolar macrophages were infected in vitro with Candida albicans. Early after infection, germ tube formation of phagocytized C. albicans was inhibited in contrast to extracellular (nonphagocytized) C. albicans. Over and 8-h period, plate counts of C. albicans incubated with alveolar macrophages revealed a decrease in colony-forming units in contrast to C. albicans alone. In addit...
متن کاملDissolution of metals by human and rabbit alveolar macrophages.
The ability of human and rabbit alveolar macrophages to dissolve 0.1-0.5 micron MnO2 particles in vitro was compared. The amount of Mn added and dissolved from the particles over periods of nought, one, and three days was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The amount dissolved by human and rabbit macrophages was similar; on average 43.1% and 43.9%, respectively, were disso...
