Phagocytosing Human Neutrophils
A B S T R A C T During phagocytosis, neutrophils generate reactive oxygen metabolites and release lysosomal enzymes into the extracellular medium. We have investigated the possibility that these enzymes are inactivated by the oxygen compounds. Phagocytosing neutrophils from 12 patients with chronic granulomatous disease, which do not generate these oxygen metabolites, released two to three time...
متن کاملNuclear behavior in fungal hyphae.
A characteristic feature of fungal hypha is the presence of large number of nuclei in a common cytoplasmic environment. Where it has been examined, the coenocytic mycelium is commonly heterokaryotic. The nuclei cooperate, compete or combat. It is proposed that in addition to their classical role in heredity, supernumerary nuclei in filamentous fungi serve as store house for nitrogen and phospho...
متن کاملChanges in the levels of glutathione in phagocytosing human neutrophils.
The tripeptide y-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine. or glutathione. protects cells against oxidative damage by its ability to react with free radicals and peroxides. From studies with human neutrophilic granulocytes deficient in glutathione metabolism. it is known that the protection by this compound is essential for the proper functioning of these cells. Previous studies have yielded conflicting esti...
متن کاملNuclear anarchy: asynchronous mitosis in multinucleated fungal hyphae.
Multinucleated cells are found in diverse contexts and include filamentous fungi, developing insect embryos, skeletal muscle and metastasizing tumor cells. Some multinucleated cells such as those in muscles arise from cell fusion events, but many are formed through specialized cell cycles in which nuclear and cell division are uncoupled. Recent work in the fungus Ashbya gossypii illustrates how...
متن کاملBranching in Fungal Hyphae and Fungal Tissues: Growing Mycelia in a Desktop Computer
In mycelial fungi the formation of hyphal branches is the only way in which the number of growing points can be increased. Cross walls always form at right angles to the long axis of a hypha, and nuclear division is not necessarily linked to cell division. Consequently, no matter how many nuclear divisions occur and no matter how many cross walls are formed there will be no increase in the numb...
