Oxidative metabolism in cord-blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
Polymorphonuclear leucocytes were isolated from cord-blood samples collected from healthy, term infants. Oxidative metabolism was assessed in these cells by hexose monophosphate shunt activity and chemiluminescence. Basal levels of oxidative metabolism were spontaneously increased in resting (nonphagocytic) cord-blood cells as compared to adult controls. As a response to phagocytosis, cord-bloo...
متن کاملRabbit Polymorphonuclear Leucocytes
1. The subcellular distribution has been investigated of a protease from rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes, obtained from peritoneal exudates. The enzyme, optimally active between pH7.0 and 7.5, hydrolyses histone but not haemoglobin, sediments almost exclusively with a granule fraction rich in other lysosomal enzymes, and is latent until the granules are disrupted by various means. 2. Enzymi...
متن کاملScanning electron microscopy of rheumatoid arthritis peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
Peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) were isolated from six normal individuals and from 27 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by the Ficoll-Hypaque rapid single step centrifugation technique, fixed in suspension, and examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, four of the preparations from normal individuals and eight from patients with RA were examined by ...
متن کاملOxidative metabolism in cord blood monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages.
Little is known about phagocytosis-associated oxidative metabolism in mononuclear phagocytes from the human neonate. We investigated this phenomenon in monocytes from the cord blood of term newborn infants by measuring generation of superoxide anion (O2-) and hydroxyl radical (X OH) after stimulation with opsonized zymosan or phorbol myristate acetate. Production of these microbicidal oxygen me...
متن کاملNitric oxide production by human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
1. We describe a rapid and reliable technique for the assessment of basal nitric oxide release in clinical situations, using peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes isolated by a single-step density gradient procedure. The assay is based on the quantitative conversion of oxyhaemoglobin to methaemoglobin by nitric oxide. We have further examined the ability of these cells to respond to var...
