HIV-1 infection does not impair human alveolar macrophage phagocytic function unless combined with cigarette smoking.
OBJECTIVE Macrophages are an important reservoir for the HIV and contribute to innate lung defense by their ability to phagocytose, digest, and process invading pathogens. We hypothesized that HIV-1 infection may lead to a defect in the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages. DESIGN In order to test this hypothesis, the phagocytic activity of alveolar macrophages from asymptomatic HIV-1 ...
متن کاملPhagocytic function in cyclists: correlation with catecholamines and cortisol.
Flow cytometer measurements were made of the basal variations in peripheral blood functional monocytes and granulocytes over the course of a training season (January to November) of a cycling team. Parallel determinations were made of plasma concentration of catecholamines (chromatography) and cortisol (RIA) in a search for neuroendocrine markers. The results showed the greatest phagocytic capa...
متن کاملSuperoxide production by phagocytic leukocytes
Mononuclear phagocytic leukocytes, as well as polymorphonuclear leukocytes, produce and release superoxide at rest, and this is stimulated by phagocytosis. Of the mouse monocytic cells studied, alveolar macrophages released the largest amounts of superoxide during phagocytosis, followed by normal peritoneal macrophages. Casein-elicited and "activated" macrophages released smaller quantities. In...
متن کاملEffects of enrofloxacin on porcine phagocytic function.
The interaction between enrofloxacin and porcine phagocytes was studied with clinically relevant concentrations of enrofloxacin. Enrofloxacin accumulated in phagocytes, with cellular concentration/extracellular concentration ratios of 9 for polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and 5 for alveolar macrophages (AMs). Cells with accumulated enrofloxacin brought into enrofloxacin-free medium released...
متن کاملPhagocytic cell function in active brucellosis.
In this study, we analyzed phagocytic cell function in 51 patients with active brucellosis and its relationship with different clinical, serological, and evolutionary variables. A control group was made up of 30 blood donors of similar geographic extraction, age, and sex, with no previous history of brucellosis or known exposure ot the infection or specific antibodies. The investigations were c...
