Experiments have explored the possible relationships between the flagellar surface motility of chlamydomonas, visualized as translocation of polystyrene beads by paralyzed (pf) mutants (Bloodgood, 1977, J. Cell Biol. 15:983-989), and the capacity of gametic flagella to participate in the mating reaction. While vegetative and gametic flagella bind beads with equal efficiencies and are capable of...
Microplastics (MPs), sized ~150 μm, have been found in tap water at levels of ~5 particles/L, suggesting that treatment plants are not effectively removing MPs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to evaluate their fate drinking processes. Coagulation-flocculation and sedimentation applied primarily decrease turbidity, MPs contribute turbidity. This study focuses on the removal polystyrene (PS) ...
In order to characterize the reactivity of B cells against nominal antigens, a method based on the coupling of antigens onto the surface of fluorescent core polystyrene beads was developed. We first demonstrate that murine B cells with a human MOG-specific BCR are able to interact with MOG-coated beads and do not recognize beads coated with human albumin or pp65. B cells purified from human hea...
Surfactant proteins (SP)-A and SP-D have been shown to affect the functions of a variety of innate immune cells and to interact with various immune proteins such as complement and immunoglobulins. The goal of the current study is to test the hypothesis that SP-A regulates IgG-mediated phagocytosis by neutrophils, which are major effector cells of the innate immune response that remove invading ...
We have developed an integrated laser trap/flow control video microscope for mechanical manipulation of single biopolymers. The instrument is automated to maximize experimental throughput. A single-beam optical trap capable of trapping micron-scale polystyrene beads in the middle of a 200-microm-deep microchamber is used, making it possible to insert a micropipette inside this chamber to hold a...
Soybean agglutinin (SBA) was used as a differential reagent to achieve selective elimination of human breast cancer cells (T-47D cell line) from human marrow contaminated with tumor cells. Two successive cycles of direct agglutination by soluble SBA resulted in depletion of 3.5 logs of tumor cells as determined by radiolabeling, whereas removal of more than 4 logs of tumor cells was demonstrate...
A method is described for the rapid and efficient isolation of phagocytic vesicles from large scale cultures of Acanthamoeba castellanii (Neff) that have been incubated with polystyrene latex beads. Cells were allowed to phagocytose latex beads for 30 min and then were homogenized, and the phagocytic vesicles were isolated by one centrifugation through several layers of sucrose. Identity and pu...
Using a biochemically complex cytoplasmic extract to reconstitute actin-based motility of Listeria monocytogenes and polystyrene beads coated with the bacterial protein ActA, we have systematically varied a series of biophysical parameters and examined their effects on initiation of motility, particle speed, speed variability, and path trajectory. Bead size had a profound effect on all aspects ...
The elucidation of physical and molecular mechanisms by which a membrane tube is generated from a membrane reservoir is central to the understanding of the structure and dynamics of intracellular organelles and of transport intermediates in eukaryotic cells. Compelling evidence exists that molecular motors of the dynein and kinesin families are involved in the tubulation of organelles. Here, we...
