The Temperature Coefficient of Phagocytosis

1. The experiments of Madsen and Watabiki on the effect of temperature on the phagocytosis of bacteria are discussed and a new analysis of their curves is given, showing that the rate of phagocytosis is very nearly a logarithmic function of the temperature from 0 degrees to 35 degrees C.; i.e., Q(10) is constant over that range and is equal to 2.0. 2. New experiments are reported on the effect ...

The Temperature Coefficient of Phagocytosis

number of bacteria ingested at the close of the experlment(instead of the maximum number of bacteria present, which, one is led to infer, was larger than A even at the higher temperatures) and x equal, as usual, to the number of bacteria ingested in time, T. Considering their method of analysis it is not surprising that they found it impossible to calculate the temperature coefficient of phago•...

P187: Dose-Dependent Delay of Wallerian Degeneration Induced by Dexamethasone after Sciatic Nerve Transection in Rat

Wallerian degeneration is an innate immune response which occurs after some kinds of nerve damages such as neurodegenerative disease and acute axonal injury. In clinic, dexamethasone as an anti-inflammatory drug has been used for many years to treat nerve injuries. In present study, we aimed to study the effects of various doses of dexamethasone on the Wallerian degeneration in rat. Twentyseven ...

Temperature Coefficient for Modeling Denitrification

Watershed modeling has become an important tool for researchers. Modeling nitrate transport within drainage networks requires quantifying the denitrification within the sediments in canals and streams. In a previous study, several of the authors developed an equation using a term called a mass transfer coefficient to mathematically describe sediment denitrification. This equation takes into acc...
