The Population and Activity of Airway Macrophages in Patients Requiring Continuous Mechanical Ventilation
… Those that did demonstrated above normal phagocytic ability when challenged with Aspergillus fumigatus conidia. The cellular content of the specimens demonstrated a predominance of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and a prevalence of various bacteria. These observations may indicate …

Elevated temperature alters cytokine output and c-Jun N-terminal kinase signaling downstream of toll-like receptor activation
… the phenotype of innate immune cells, such as phagocytic ability, but the effects of elevated temperature on the molecular mechanisms that underlie these differences remain poorly understood. Here, we describe alterations in cytokine production following stimulation with lipopolysaccharide or …

African trypanosomiasis : its effect on platelet morphology, function and survival
… suggesting that the expanded mononuclear phagocytic ability of the reticular endothelial system actively or passively continues the platelet destruction at this time. Support for two different mechanisms of platelet destruction, active at different stages of the disease, is also provided …

Phenotypic Characterization of Segmental Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells
… of substrate stiffness; and (2b) differ in their phagocytic abilities. Methods: (1) Primary human TM, HF and LF cells [n=3 non-glaucomatous donors] were treated with/without DEX for 30 days. Cultures were decellularized to obtain vehicle control ECM (VehM) and glucocorticoid-induced ECM (GIM) and …

Improving methods for cytokine immunotherapy of cancer
… immune response. Due to decreased phagocytic ability post-maturation, DCs activated too early captured much less antigen and could not effectively prime CD8+ T cells. Temporally programming DC activation to occur after tumoricidal activity enhanced tumor control by multiple …

Retinoid X Receptor as a Mediator of Post Stroke Recovery by Reversing Age-Associated Phenotypes of Microglia/Macrophages
… brain through phagocytosis. However, the phagocytic capability of MF declines with age. Age-related changes in MF phenotype also include overactive inflammatory responses to stroke-induced brain injury, altogether resulting in poor recovery after stroke. Retinoid-X-receptor (RXR) is a …

Evaluation of ceftiofur sodium as a chemotherapeutic agent in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)
… After 24 and 48 h, leukocyte number, phagocytic ability and H2O2 production were examined in the cells of the pronephros. The results showed that neither dosage had an effect on the number of leukocytes in the pronephros. Phagocytosis was also not significantly altered at either dosage …

Ωρίμανση της μη ειδικής ανοσίας κατά την βρεφική ηλικία
Οι λοιμώξεις από διάφορους παθογόνους μικροοργανισμούς αποτελούν σημαντική αιτία νοσηρότητας και θνησιμότητας κατά τη διάρκεια της περιγεννητικής περιόδου. Η αυξημένη ευαισθησία των νεογνών σε βακτηριακές λοιμώξεις έχει αποδοθεί σε ανωριμότητα της έμφυτης ανοσίας. Θεωρείται ότι ένας από τους …

Genetic programming of human iPSC-derived macrophages provides a tool to study the Erythroblastic Island niche in vitro
… expression, cell surface marker expression and phagocytic ability. Furthermore, genetically modified macrophages could be activated/polarised to an M (LPS+ IFN-ϒ), M (IL10) or M (IL4) phenotype and retained their plasticity-related abilities, as they were able to switch from one activated state …

Immunomodulation by dietary lipids: soybean oil, menhaden fish oil, chicken fat, and hydrogenated soybean oil in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) and Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus)
… fed FO or HSBO (24 hours post PHA challenge). Phagocytic ability was not affected by dietary lipid treatments in BOB while the quail fed FO diet had a faster carbon clearance rate. The FO fed JAP had a significantly higher response (p< 0.05) to concanavalin A ensiformis (CONA) compared to HSBO …
