The Process of Phagocytosis
The phagocyte, then, is a complex system delicately responsive to internal and external influences. Interfacial tensions, and under certain conditions viscosity, are critical factors in determining the ingestion of particles with which the phagocyte has come into contact. Deductions from the formulation of these factors by Fenn and Ponder are in agreement with observation and with experimental ...
متن کاملPhagocytosis: A Fundamental Process in Immunity
One hundred years have passed since the death of Élie Metchnikoff (1845-1916). He was the first to observe the uptake of particles by cells and realized the importance of this process for the host response to injury and infection. He also was a strong advocate of the role of phagocytosis in cellular immunity, and with this he gave us the basis for our modern understanding of inflammation and th...
متن کاملProcess Algebra Models in Biology: The Case of Phagocytosis
Process algebras are formal languages, which were originally designed to study the properties of complex reactive computer systems. Due to highly parallelized interactions and stochasticity inherit in biological systems, programming languages that implement stochastic extensions of processes algebras are gaining increasing attention as modeling and simulation tools in systems biology. The autho...
متن کاملElectron Microscopic Study of the Phagocytosis Process in Lung
Diluted India ink was instilled into the nasal cavity of mice and the lungs of some animals were fixed with osmium tetroxide at various intervals after one instillation. The lungs of other animals were fixed after 4, 7, 9, 16, or 18 daily instillations. The India ink was found to be phagocytized almost exclusively by the free alveolar macrophages. A few particles are occasionally seen within th...
متن کاملCharacterization and immunobiologic activities of lipopolysaccharides from periodontal bacteria.
lacterial surface structures play a critical role in the initiation of infectious diseases. Various surface ^ components of pathogenic bacteria have been reported to be involved in host injury. There is a great deal of evidence incriminating certain Gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria present in the gingival crevice as etiologic agents of human periodontal diseases. We have isolated endotoxic cel...
