Mechanics of neutrophil phagocytosis: experiments and quantitative models.
To quantitatively characterize the mechanical processes that drive phagocytosis, we observed the FcgammaR-driven engulfment of antibody-coated beads of diameters 3 mum to 11 mum by initially spherical neutrophils. In particular, the time course of cell morphology, of bead motion and of cortical tension were determined. Here, we introduce a number of mechanistic models for phagocytosis and test ...
متن کاملMechanics of neutrophil phagocytosis: behavior of the cortical tension.
The mechanical implementation of phagocytosis requires a well-coordinated deployment of cytoplasm and membrane during the creation of a phagosome. We follow the time course of this process in initially round passive neutrophils presented with antibody-coated beads of radii 1.1 to 5.5 microm. In particular, we monitor the cortical tension as the apparent cellular surface area increases due to ce...
متن کاملWafer Bonding : Mechanics - Based Models and Experiments
Direct wafer bonding has emerged as an important technology in the manufacture of silicon-on-insulator substrates (SOI), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and three-dimensional inte-grated circuits (3D IC’s). While the process is currently employed in applications such as these, alack of knowledge of the basic mechanics of the process has made developing robust processes an...
متن کاملQuantitative Studies of Phagocytosis
Kinetic analysis of the initial ingestion rate of albumin-coated paraffin oil particles by human granulocytes and rabbit alveolar macrophages was undertaken to study the mechanism of action of cations and of heat-labile opsonin on engulfment. The rate of uptake of the particles was stimulated by Ca(++), Mg(++), Mn(++), or Co(++). At high concentrations (> 20 mM) Ca(++) and Mg(++) inhibited the ...
متن کاملNeutrophil-Mediated Phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus
Initial elimination of invading Staphylococcus aureus from the body is mediated by professional phagocytes. The neutrophil is the major phagocyte of the innate immunity and plays a key role in the host defense against staphylococcal infections. Opsonization of the bacteria with immunoglobulins and complement factors enables efficient recognition by the neutrophil that subsequently leads to intr...
