A Study on the Effectiveness of Activated Murine Peritoneal Macrophages in Killing Candida Albicans Hyphae
… plays a vital role in resistance to candidosis, macrophages, phagocytic cells of the immune system, are particularly important in elimination of Candida. When activated, macrophages exhibit increased candidaciadal activity. Previous studies have focused on the ability of activated macrophages to …

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Production By Murine Peritoneal Macrophages in Response to Candida Albicans Yeasts, Germ Tubes, and Mycelia
… of this pathogen by host immune cells such as macrophages causes the production of a variety of cytokines, one is Tumor Necrosis Factor-α. TNF-α has been implicated as a mediator in endotoxic shock syndrome. However, there is also evidence that this cytokine can have beneficial effects when …

Autocrine Effects of Catecholamines on Macrophage Release of Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
… NE on IL-6 production in activated peritoneal macrophages. Effects of NE on IL-6 production in the RAW264.7 macrophage cell-line also were investigated. Treatment of activated peritoneal macrophages with endotoxin, the α2-adrenergic antagonists yohimbine or RS79948 revealed that the …

The Effect of Adenosine on the Production of Inflammatory Mediators By Macrophages in Response to Candida Albicans
Mononuclear phagocytic cells (macrophages) are important cells of the immune system that are responsible for host defense to pathogenic organisms and infection. One pathogenic microorganism that can activate macrophages is the dimorphic fungus, Candida albicans. It is a major cause of candidiasis …

The Interactions of Clostridium Perfringens With Phagocytic Cells
… was not killed by J774-33 cells or mouse peritoneal macrophages under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Using electron microscopy, we showed that C. perfringens could escape the phagosome of J774-33 and mouse peritoneal macrophages. We believe the ability of C. perfringens to survive in the …

THE DESIGN OF A NOVEL ANTI-TUMOUR DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM USING IMMUNE-DERIVED CELLS.
… the adoptive immunotherapy of monocytes and/or macrophages. It involves encapsulation of chemotherapeutic drug within a liposomal matrix which affords protection from the host-immune response by uptake of the drug-liposome, combination into macrophages. Liposomes were prepared containing either …

Gene expression profiling reveals novel actions of glucocorticoids on immune cells during inflammation
… of genes that are altered upon activation of peritoneal macrophages by LPS, and those whose expression is further modulated upon administration of glucocorticoids (GC). In total, more than 350 genes/ESTs were identified as being induced or repressed by LPS, whereas 106 (30) of them responded …

Impaired Control of Chronic Herpesvirus Infection in Tissue Resident Macrophages During Coinfection with Intestinal Parasite and Other Cell-intrinsic Herpesvirus Interactions
… such as B cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages. Reactivation of gammaherpesviruses is thought to induce lymphomas and can be caused by a variety of signals, such as HDAC inhibitors. While some of these signals are known, it is still unclear whether there are cell-specific …

Diet Modifies the Neuroimmune System by Influencing Macrophage Activation
… influence the activation state of macrophages. During activation of the neuroimmune system, antigen presenting cells, such as macrophages, produce cytokines that mediate communication of the peripheral immune status to the brain. This cytokine network establishes a bi-directional …

Cannabinoid Modulation of Chemotaxis of Macrophages and Macrophage-like Cells
… reported to modulate functional activities of macrophages. It is recognized that macrophages express primarily the CB2 cannabinoid receptor, but recent studies indicate that its expression is differential in relation to activation state with maximal levels occurring when cells are in …

Investigating the Reconstitution and Function of Peritoneal Cavity Macrophages after LPS-induced Peritonitis
The tissue-resident macrophages of the peritoneum are sentinel immune cells, in constant motion within the serous fluid of the abdomen. Like most tissue macrophages, the GATA6+ large peritoneal macrophages (LPMs) are responsible for the clearance and removal of pathogens that may break through the …

A Possible Role For Prostaglandin E-B2-S as a Suppressor of Macrophage Phagocytosis
… be a prostaglandin was investigated. When murine peritoneal macrophages were treated with prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) they phagocytized L. monocytogenes at a rate comparable to that phagocytized when treated with a low molecular weight fraction of Concanavalin A generated spleen cell culture …

Modulation of macrophage function and immune response by a helminth-derived cysteine protease
… the generation of alternatively activated macrophages, regulatory T cells and regulatory B cell populations (Lund et al. in preparation). Nevertheless, the individual molecular components within the ES responsible for these phenomenon are unknown. Therefore, HPLC fractionation of the ES …

Macrophage Suppression Across Genetic Barriers By a Spleen Cell Culture Derived Factor
… of Listeria monocytogenes by resident murine peritoneal macrophages (PEC). The current investigation involved production of this macrophage suppressor factor (MSF) by spleen cells obtained from C57BL/10J and BALB/c mice and an assay for the maintenance of biological activity across genetic …

Modulation of the Serotonin Reuptake Transporter in RAW264.7 Macrophages
… of 3H-5HT uptake. The 5-HT uptake in RAW264.7 macrophages was more than 10-fold that of peritoneal macrophages, indicating that these cells are an excellent model for studying regulation of the SERT. Activation of macrophages with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased SERT activity in a time- and …

Murine Peritoneal Macrophage Response to Colonial Phenotypes of Candida Albicans
… focus of this investigation was to test murine peritoneal macrophage response to two different phenotypes of the same strain of C. albicans. Heat-killed preparations of the parent and a UV-induced, switched phenotype (S-5) were tested for their capacity to prime macrophages for enhanced …

Investigation of the efficacy of identified acetolactate synthase inhibitors, peptidyl cysteine protease inhibitors, thiolactomycins, and thiosemicarbazone compounds against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
… for cytotoxicity in vitro against elicited peritoneal macrophages using the MTT assay. Of the 38 acetolactate synthase inhibitors tested, 2 derivatives namely RKG162A and RKG1541 were bactericidal against M. tuberculosis. Both derivatives were mildly cytotoxic against macrophages. For …

Macrophage Suppression By a Low Molecular Weight Fraction of Murine Spleen Cell Culture Supernatant
… of Listeria monocytogenes by non-elicited peritoneal macrophages. The molecular weight of MSF was determined by ultrafiltration to be less than 10,000, and the modulating activity of MSF was not altered by heating at 100°C for 30 minutes or freezing at -70°C for six months. MSF is resistant …
