Phagocytosis of brushite crystals by pig neutrophils.
Neutrophils from pig blood were disrupted by homogenisation or sonication and placed on an analytical sucrose gradient. Pig neutrophil azurophil granules were less dense than the specific granules, unlike those from neutrophils of most other mammalian species. Brushite crystals, which stimulate the respiratory burst in pig neutrophils, were found by electron microscopy to be phagocytosed. Membr...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of Neutrophils
From the time that the inflammatory reaction was first characterized by its cardinal signs of color, rubor, tumor, et dolor, until the studies on phagocytosis by Metchnikoff, it was considered that this reaction by the organism was detrimental to its well being. Metchnikoff (1), however, saw the process of inflammation as a " . . . salutary reaction against some injurious influence." He stated ...
متن کاملForum in immunology Phagocytosis by neutrophils
Phagocytosis is central to the microbicidal function of neutrophils. Pathogens are initially engulfed into a plasma membrane-derived vacuole, the phagosome, which proceeds to acquire degradative properties by a complex process termed maturation. In this chapter, we discuss the current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying phagosome formation and maturation in neutrophils. © 2003 Édit...
متن کاملIdentification of precursor of phagocytosis-stimulating factor in guinea pig polymorphonuclear neutrophils.
A precursor of phagocytosis-stimulating factor (PSF) was identified by immunoblot assay with purified anti-PSF antibodies. The purified anti-PSF antibodies recognized not only the PSF with a molecular weight of 16,000 (16K) but also the 36K protein with a pI of 6.5 in the granule fraction of polymorphonuclear neutrophils, indicating that this 36K protein has an antigenic determinant common to P...
متن کاملPhagocytosis and killing of Gardnerella vaginalis by human neutrophils.
Gardnerella vaginalis was ingested and killed by neutrophils in the presence of normal human serum. Heat inactivation of the serum inhibited these processes. The opsonisation of some but not all G vaginalis strains was enhanced by immune rabbit serum. Immune serum did not, however, enhance intracellular killing. Blockade of the classical pathway of complement activation had no effect on the ops...
