Studies on Gonococcus infection. IX. In vitro decreased assocation of pilated gonococci with mouse peritoneal macrophages.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pili, in addition to enhancing attachment of gonococci to tissue culture cells, appear to reduce association (attachment/ingestion) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with mouse peritoneal macrophages in vitro.

Studies on gonococcus infection. VII. In vitro killing of gonococci by human leukocytes.
The comparative killing of pilated and nonpilated forms of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by human peripheral blood leukocytes was studied in vitro. Some nonpilated gonococci (T2) were killed to a lesser extent than were pilated, T2 organisms, which were killed less readily than another nonpilated (T4*) form of gonococcus. Thus, the relative order of killing of gonococci by human peripheral blood leukoc...
متن کاملToxic Effect of Verapamil on Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and BALB/c Peritoneal Macrophages, in vitro
Background & Aims: Verapamil as a calcium channel blocker has been broadly used in the treatment of many cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and arrhythmia. Furthermore, the anti-tumor/ antiinflammatory effects of verapamil have been shown. In the present study, the cytotoxic effect of verapamil on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and BALB/c peritoneal macrophges has be...
متن کاملEffects of T-2 Toxin on Cytokine Produc-tion by Mice Peritoneal Macrophages and Lymph Node T-Cells
Background: T-2 toxin is a mycotoxin of type A trichothecenes produced by several fungal genera such as Fusarium species. Mycotoxins can affect both cell mediated and humoral immune compartments. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investi-gate the effect of T-2 toxin on cytokine production by mouse peritoneal macrophages and lymph node T cells. Methods: Mouse peritoneal macrophages and...
متن کاملA gonococcal efflux pump system enhances bacterial survival in a female mouse model of genital tract infection.
Active efflux of antimicrobial substances is likely to be an important bacterial defense against inhibitory host factors inherent to different body sites. Two well-characterized multidrug resistance efflux systems (MtrCDE and FarAB-MtrE) exist in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterial pathogen of the human genital mucosae. In vitro studies suggest that the MtrCDE and FarAB-MtrE efflux systems prote...

Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase inhibition in macrophages treated with 6-Aminonicotinamide, the amount of nitric oxide (NO) production and the resistance of infected macrophages against Leishmania major infection. Methods: Peritoneal macrophages of BALB/c mice were isolated and treated with different concentr...
