Studies of Blood Leukocytes and Peritoneal Fluids in Some Acute Abdominal Conditions and in Shock
… and was attributed at first to destruction of white cells (Lowit -1892) and later to withdrawal of leukocytes from the peripheral circulation into vessels of the viscera. In substance these are the two theories that prevail today. | There is much conflicting evidence on the mechanism of …

Studies on Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity Including Attempts to Effect Transfer in Guinea Pigs with Subcellular Materials
… allergic to a normal animal by means of living white cells was made at The Rockefeller Institute many years ago. Since that time it has been recognized that cellular transfer appears to be a unifying principle underlying both contact dermatitis and tuberculin hypersensitivity. Later studies in …

Some observations of the diurnal variations in leucocyte count in man, with special reference to the effect of digestion: being a record of 37 experiments
… renders the knowledge of the variations of the white blood cells under normal physiological conditions necessary, for without this knowledge our interpretation of the result of a leucocyte count does not rest on a sound basis and may be erroneous. Although some aspects of physiological increase …

A study of the function of carotenoid pigments of a red psychrophilic micrococcus from Antarctica
… or other related compounds. Spectra from a white phenotype which had carotenogenesis suppressed by diphenylamine indicated maxima only in the ultraviolet range (390 nm and below). Comparative sensitivities of red and white cells to ultraviolet radiation were determined with cultures which …

Characterizing Erythrocyte Motions in Flowing Blood
<p>Characterizing the probabilistic motions of cells is a prerequisite for the development of a general model of transport and surface deposition of white cells and platelets (WBC/P). These phenomena differ greatly when red blood cells (RBC) are present at normal levels, but follow convective …

Role of Tyk2 in the Development of Beige Cells
… cancer. Adipose tissue exists in two main forms: white adipose tissue (WAT), which stores energy as triglycerides, and brown adipose tissue (BAT), which dissipates stored energy as heat. White adipose tissue is composed of several subcutaneous and visceral depots, each possessing distinct …

Initiation, Maintenance, and Termination of Bursting in an Endogenously Bursting Molluscan Nerve Cell (cyclic-Amp)
… an endogenously bursting nerve cell. The ventral white cells (VWC) of the marine mollusc Pleurobranchaea californica become endogenous bursters when the intracellular levels of cyclic 3'5' adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) are raised. cAMP increases the opening frequency of membrane sodium …

Biological and Aetiological Inference from the Statistical Genetic Analyses of Blood Cell Traits
Blood cells are crucial to human physiology, with functions in oxygen transport, infection control, and wound healing. Molecular mechanisms endogenous to blood cells have been implicated in the aetiologies of cancer, infection and inflammatory and immune disorders. The genetic determinants of blood …

The effects of some antibiotics and lipopolysaccharide on oxidative burst and phagocytosis of neutrophils
… and sensitive assay not requiring separation of white cells; and simultaneously measures two neutrophil functions. It can evaluate neutrophil response to immunomodulatory and chemotherapeutic agents in a physiological milieu. The necessity of using pyrogen - free reagents in any study of …

Development of Innovative Microfluidic Polymeric Technologies for Point-of-care & Integrated Diagnostics Devices
… a plastic compact disc (CD). The assay separates cells and fat globules based on their densities (by differential sedimentation), concentrating white cells in the closed-end channel near the outer rim of the CD for estimation of total “cell pellet” volume, while fat globules move toward the center …

Defining CP-CML patient subsets associated with poor imatinib uptake and response.
… the function of OCT-1 in leukaemic mononuclear cells prior to imatinib therapy, expressed as OCT-1 activity (OA), has been demonstrated to be a strong prognostic indicator. Notably, low OA is strongly associated with patients at significant risk of poor molecular response, mutation development …

Birds of a white feather : a congenital hypopigmentary disorder in the chick
Dominant white, a mutation of the I gene, leads to amelanosis and is common to many commercial breeds of fowl, including Pile Games, White Plymouth Rocks and White Leghorns. Despite much investigation on the cellular mechanisms of Dominant white, its mode of action is still poorly understood. The …
