Unidentified Reticuloendothelial Cell Storage Disease

An unidentified reticuloendothelial cell in bone marrow and spleen; report of two cases with histochemical studies.

Reticuloendothelial system phagocytic function in patients with Hodgkin's disease.

Phagocytic function of the reticuloendothelial system as measured by the clearance of (125)I-labeled aggregated human serum albumin (AA) was studied in patients with Hodgkin's disease. Each more advanced stage of the disease was associated with more rapid clearance of the AA. Production of remission by radiation therapy or by chemotherapy was associated in some patients with slowing of the clea...

Reticuloendothelial function in coeliac disease and ulcerative colitis.

Patients with ulcerative colitis and coeliac disease who had been shown by impaired clearance of heat damaged red cells to have diminished splenic phagocytosis, were examined for evidence of more generalised reticuloendothelial malfunction by measuring their circulatory clearance of micro-aggregated albumin. Although in animals micro-aggregated albumin is largely removed by Kupffer cells, we fo...

Storage iron kinetics. VII. A biologic model for reticuloendothelial iron transport.

The processing of erythrocyte iron by the reticuloendothelial cell has been characterized by kinetic measurements of blood radioactivity made after the intravenous injection of heat-damaged erythrocytes labeled with (59)Fe and of transferrin-bound (55)Fe. The early reticuloendothelial release of iron, a matter of hours, was calculated from the plasma turnover rate of (55)Fe and the plasma reapp...

Reticuloendothelial Immune Serum (REIS)

The importance of the reticuloendothelial system in relation to neoplasms has been recently brought into focus by a group of Soviet workers. According to Shimkin (18), blockading of the reticuloendothelial system has been used by Roskin (16) as a means of growing heteroplastic tumors. Bogomolets (3) has reported the effect of specific antireticular cytotoxic serum (ACS) on the genesis, survival...
