Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes in Immunologic Reactions
Vascular basement membrane was disrupted in the presence of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN's) during two immunologic reactions: The Arthus phenomenon and the reaction to locally injected antibody to vascular basement membrane. This disruption was evidenced by (a) the inability of the basement membrane to retain circulating carbon, by (b) loss of antigenic constituents, and by (c) electron mi...
متن کاملPolymorphonuclear Leukocytes
Complete protection of Staphylococcus aureus Wood 46 from gentamicin bactericidal activity was documented for microorganisms located within polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The highest, still ineffective gentamicin concentration tested in the phagocytic assay was 80 times higher than the minimal concentration required to kill uningested organisms. Extracellular gentamicin activity was unaffected b...
متن کاملNuclear segmentation, condensation and bilateral symmetry in polymorphonuclear leukocytes reflect genomic order and favor immunologic function.
Segmentation, condensation and bilateral symmetry of the nuclei of polymorphonuclear leukocytes seem related to their function. Segmentation of the nuclei into two or more lobes and their condensation facilitate their passage (diapedesis) through the endothelial layer of blood vessels to the extravasal space and subsequent locomotion through the interstitial compartment of different tissues. Bi...
متن کاملHuman Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes
A B S T R A C T Acetyl glyceryl ether phosphorylcholine (AGEPC) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) induce concentration-dependent neutrophil aggregation. On a molar basis, LTB4 is 10 to 100 times more potent than AGEPC. AGEPC-induced aggregation is attenuated by two inhibitors of arachidonate lipoxygenation, eicosatetraynoic acid and nordihydroguaiaretic acid, and to a lesser extent by the cyclooxygenas...
متن کاملPhagocytosing Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes
A B S T R A C T Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) phagocytosing opsonized antigen-antibody complexes, produce dialyzable species of activated oxygen which are capable of partially suppressing the elastase-inhibiting capacity (EIC) of whole human serum or purified human a1-proteinase inhibitor. Serum EIC was partially protected by superoxide dismutase, catalase, or mannitol, suggesting th...
