Superoxide production by phagocytic leukocytes
Mononuclear phagocytic leukocytes, as well as polymorphonuclear leukocytes, produce and release superoxide at rest, and this is stimulated by phagocytosis. Of the mouse monocytic cells studied, alveolar macrophages released the largest amounts of superoxide during phagocytosis, followed by normal peritoneal macrophages. Casein-elicited and "activated" macrophages released smaller quantities. In...
متن کاملSuperoxide production by phagocytic leukocytes: the scientific legacy of Bernard Babior.
It was 32 years ago that Bernard Babior, Ruby Kipnes, and I submitted a paper to the JCI reporting that polymorphonuclear leukocytes produce superoxide (O(2) (-)) during phagocytosis and that this highly reactive oxygen radical might function as a microbicidal agent. The story of how our lab came to this discovery is one of a special relationship between a student and his brilliant mentor.
متن کاملNitric oxide inhibits superoxide production by inflammatory polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Nitric oxide (NO ⋅) has a complex role in the inflammatory response. In this study, we modified the levels of endogenous NO ⋅ in vivo in an acute model of inflammation and evaluated the interactions between NO ⋅ and superoxide anion ([Formula: see text]) produced by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) accumulated in the inflamed area. We injected phosphate-buffered saline (control group), 6 μmo...
متن کاملChemiluminescence and superoxide production by myeloperoxidase-deficient leukocytes.
The role of superoxide anion- and myeloperoxidase-dependent reactions in the light emission by phagocytosing polymorphonuclear leukocytes has been investigated using leukocytes that lack myeloperoxidase, inhibitors (azide, superoxide dismutase), and model systems. Our earlier finding that oxygen consumption, glucose C-1 oxidation, and formate oxidation are greater in polymorphonuclear leukocyte...
متن کاملPhagocytic Activities of Neutrophilic Leukocytes
This study evaluated the phagocytic activities of neutrophilic leukocytes in both sexes during reproductive age and in women in different phases of the menstrual cycle and in pregnancy. In this study, 9 male and 12 female medical students, 17 to 20 years of age, 23 pregnant women and 9 women after delivery were evaluated. Heparinized blood was incubated with heat killed bacteria Staphylococcus ...
