Phagocytic B cells in a reptile.
Evidence for a developmental relationship between B cells and macrophages has led to the hypothesis that B cells evolved from a phagocytic predecessor. The recent identification of phagocytic IgM+ cells in fishes and amphibians supports this hypothesis, but raises the question of when, evolutionarily, was phagocytic capacity lost in B cells? To address this, leucocytes were isolated from red-ea...
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 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 کاملMelanosomes in Phagocytic Vacuoles in Langerhans Cells
~Ihe nature of Langerhans cells is disputed. ~fhey have been considered effete melanocytes (1, 2), postmelanin-synthetic cells (3), melanocyte precursors (4), intraepidermal nerve endings (5, 6), or postdivisional stages of previously melanogenic melanocytes (7). Under the electron microscope, melanocytes and Langerhans cells are distinguished by highly characteristic cytoplasmic or-ganelles: m...
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, ...
