1/v Vitro Studies on Phagocytic Activity of Sephadex G-50 Elicited Cidcken Peritoneal Macrophages
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chicken peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) were induced by Sephadex G-50 injection and were used for studying their in vitro phagocytic activity towards sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and Salmonella gallinarum. The peritoneal macrophages-were phagocytic to opsonised as well as to non-opsonised SRBC or S. gallinarum. The recognition and phagocytosis depended on time of exposure as well as the intensity of ligand molecules on the surface of phagocytic particles but was independent of the age of macrophage culture.

Influence of dietary vitamin E on phagocytic functions of macrophages in broilers.
Vitamin E (VE) is known for its antioxidant properties and has been shown to modulate immune system functions in various species. This study examined the influence of different levels of dietary VE (alpha-tocopherol acetate) on phagocytic functions of macrophages (abdominal exudate cells) in broiler chickens at 3, 5, and 7 wk. Birds were fed commercial diets containing 16 (control), 110, or 220...

متن کاملAction of the medicine Canova on peritoneal resident macrophages infected with Trypanosoma cruzi
Approximately 20 million of people are chronically infected with Trypanosoma cruzi in Latin America. The present work investigated the action of the homeopathic medicine Canova on in vitro experimental infections with T. cruzi Y strain, using Swiss mice resident peritoneal macrophages. Our results demonstrated that Canova induced a decrease in the production of H2O2 and TNF-α at 20 and 40% conc...
متن کاملAlteration of some functional and metabolic characteristics of resident mouse peritoneal macrophages by lymphocyte mediators
Resident mouse peritoneal macrophages were incubated in Sephadex G-100 fractions of supernates from concanavalin A-stimulated lymphocytes. A significant effect of the lymphocyte supernatant fractions containing mediators on macrophage 5'-nucleotidase, glucose-1 14C oxidation, cell maintenance, and migration is reported. The 5'-nucleotidase was depressed to an extent similar to that seen in acti...

Objective(s) Previous studies have demonstrated that the nitric oxide (NO) dependent death of murine peritoneal macrophages activated in vitro with IFN-g and LPS is mediated through apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated the synergistic effect of LPS, IFN-g and iron on NO production and apoptosis. Materials and Methods After determination of iron cytotoxicity, the peritoneal macrop...
