Leukocytosis-promoting factor of Bordetella pertussis.
The leukocytosis-promoting factor (LPF), purified from materials extracted from agar in which Bordetella pertussis was grown, caused leukocytosis and an increased sensitivity to histamine when as little as 0.04 Ag of protein was given intravenously to mice. LPF was adsorbed onto erythrocytes, causing hemagglutination. As little as 0.03 ,g of LPF protein agglutinated chicken erythrocytes in 0.05...
متن کاملStudies on the Leukocytosis and Lymphocytosis Induced by Bordetella Pertussis
By the use of radioautographic techniques it was shown that the lymphocytosis induced by Bordetella pertussis in mice was not caused by an increased production of lymphocytes but was primarily due to the entry into the circulation of mature cells from tissue pools. The accompanying polymorphonuclear leukocytosis was due to both proliferation of myeloid elements and entry of mature cells from ti...
متن کاملIntestinal gas dynamics: mechanisms and clinical relevance.
Patients with functional gut disorders, irritable bowel disease, and related syndromes frequently attribute their symptoms to intestinal gas. While patients are usually convinced of their interpretation, the doctor has few arguments to confirm or refute it, and in this context intestinal gas has become a myth. Studies of intestinal gas dynamics have demonstrated subtle dysfunctions in intestina...
