چکیده

PPD-sensitized monocytes and macrophages from tuberculin-positive subjects are both capable of inducing blastogenic transformation of autologous lymphocytes . Incorporation of thymidine-3H and morphological transformation were always greater in lymphocyte cultures containing macrophages than in those containing monocytes . More lymphocytes entered the first detectable S phase in cultures containing macrophages . Lymphocyte DNA synthesis occurred as early as 40 hr of culture and always in cells in contact with mononuclear phagocytes. By 120-144 hr, many transformed lymphocytes were free in suspension ; at the same time, the "immunological cluster" had increased greatly in size and contained transformed and untransformed lymphocytes. The greater effectiveness of macrophages at induction of lymphocyte transformation may be related to the efficiency of this cell type at trapping antigen and its effectiveness at making contact with and binding lymphocytes .

Species-dependent regulation of monocyte/macrophage Ia antigen expression and antigen presentation by prostaglandin E.

The expression of Ia antigen by various murine and human macrophage populations and the ability of prostaglandins of the E series to regulate Ia antigen expression were explored. Monocytes and macrophages from human and murine populations demonstrated a dichotomy in the expression of Ia antigen. Both human monocytes and macrophages expressed elevated levels of Ia antigen compared to their murin...

Release of sFasL by Monocytes and Lymphocytes Triggered by Betaglucan and Zymosan

Background: Polysaccharides have long been used as immune-modulators in various pathologic conditions including inflammation and solid malignancies. Objective: To evaluate the effects of Zymosan and Betaglucan on cytotoxic reactions in an effectortarget conjugate system. Methods: Blood was obtained from 20 healthy subjects; purified mononuclear leukocytes (monocytes and lymphocytes) were extrac...

Effect of Normal and Activated Human Macrophages on Toxoplasma Gondii

Human macrophages derived from in vitro culture of peripheral blood monocytes were studied under a variety of conditions to determine their microbicidal capacity for the obligate intracellular protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii. The effect of macrophages on intracellular Toxoplasma was evaluated morphologically by light and phase microscopy and by autoradiography. When macrophages from dye test (DT)-...

CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDES CONTROL DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN MONOCYTES INTO EITHER HIGHLY ACCESSORY CELLS OR MACROPHAGES

Human peripheral blood monocytes have been found to undergo a transitory state of high accessory activity before they fully become macrophages. Time kinetics were done to follow this accessory potential. Studying the regulation of accessory activity, we have found that monocyte derived accessory cells (m-AC) pass through two phases of development, both of which are adversely controlled by ...

Chemotaxis of purified human monocytes in vitro: lack of accessory cell requirement.

This study was undertaken to determine whether cell cooperation, either among monocytes or between monocytes and lymphocytes, is a prerequisite for monocyte chemotactic responsiveness. We compared Ficoll-Hypaque-separated mononuclear cells and a preparation of 99% pure monocytes obtained by chemotaxis in a newly designed separation chamber. Monocytes of both preparations migrated to chemoattrac...
