Phagocytosis of Immune Complexes by Macrophages
Sheep red cells (E) sensitized with IgG antibody (EA) or with antibody and complement (EAC) interact in vitro with mouse peritoneal macrophage monolayers. The role of IgG and of C3 in the attachment and ingestion of the erythrocytes was examined by means of quantitative technique utilizing (51)Cr-labeled E. Controlled osmotic lysis permitted the separate measurement of the radioactivity associa...
متن کامل2A4 binds soluble and insoluble light chain aggregates from AL amyloidosis patients and promotes clearance of amyloid deposits by phagocytosis †
Amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterized by misfolded light chain (LC) (amyloid) deposition in various peripheral organs, leading to progressive dysfunction and death. There are no regulatory agency-approved treatments for AL amyloidosis, and none of the available standard of care approaches directly targets the LC protein that constitutes the amyloid. NEOD001, currently in late-st...
متن کاملPhagocytosis by macrophages of mycoplasma pneumoniae after opsonization by complement.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae cells are not phagocytized by peritoneal macrophages without opsonization. They are taken up after treatment with complement or antibody.
متن کاملDialysis Related Amyloid Arthropathy on 18FDG PET-CT
A 60 year-old male patient with end stage kidney disease secondary to Alport syndrome presented with worsening swelling and pain in both shoulders. He had been on regular haemodialysis for 20 years, having had two failed renal transplants previously and had renal amyloidosis confirmed on renal biopsy. Radiographs of the shoulders showed evidence of an erosive arthropathy affecting the glenohume...
متن کاملAmyloid, advanced glycation end products, and dialysis related arthropathy.
Dialysis associated arthropathy (DRA) is a syndrome peculiar to long term dialysis patients. It includes large and small joint symptoms, pathological fractures through bony cysts and an axial spondyloarthropathy, and is closely associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. It is characterised by deposition of â2 microglobulin (â2M) as an amyloid protein. This was first linked to the osteoarticular sy...
