Eksempler på phagocyte

• This recruitment of activated mononuclear phagocytes would presumably bring more neurotoxins into the immediate vicinity of neurons, potentially contributing to neuronal injury.

• Hydrocortisone suppresses the chemiluminescent response of striped bass phagocytes.

• The results show that the luminol-based chemiluminescence is a reliable method for the future study of space-flight effects on mammalian phagocytes.

• However, other cell types such as astrocytes (b), oligodendrocytes, endothelia and even neurons may act as nonprofessional phagocytes.

• A method for visualizing infected red blood cells ingested by phagocytes.

• The present report therefore reveals the existence of two patterns of resorption in phagocytes of invertebrates.

• In none of these preparations was hybridisation to spermatozoa, nutritive phagocytes or perivisceral epithelial cells observed.

• Glial cells are therefore uniquely positioned to act as both destructive phagocytes and providers of recycled nutrients.

• If the phagocyte is adjacent to the engulfment target, immediate recognition can ensue.

• For the first time, we have reported selective resorption of waste materials in heterophagosomes of phagocytes.

• Opsonic enhancement of phagocytosis by a lectin might require that the molecules bind not only to the surface of the phagocyte but also to the foreign particle.

• In many neurodegenerative diseases, these mononuclear phagocytes undergo a phenotypic conversion into an activated phenotype implicating the development of an inflammatory response that accelerates the disease process.

• Altered cell signaling and mononuclear phagocyte deactivation during intracellular infection.

• Astrocytes might also augment the effects of infected and/or stimulated mononuclear phagocytes through the actions of soluble factors produced by the mononuclear phagocytes acting on nearby astrocytes.

• Listeria monocytogenes infected phagocytes can initiate central nervous system infection in mice.
