TLR4-NOX2 axis regulates the phagocytosis and killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by macrophages
BACKGROUND Macrophages stand at the forefront of both innate and adapted immunity through their capacities to recognize, engulf, and eliminate foreign particles, and to stimulate adapted immune cells. They are also involved in controlling pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways. Macrophage activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) has been shown to involve Toll-like receptor (TL...
متن کاملPhagocytosis 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 کاملConcanavalin A enhances phagocytosis and killing of Candida albicans by mice peritoneal neutrophils and macrophages.
In this study we tested the hypothesis that after administration of a single intraperitoneal dose of concanavalin A (Con-A) to mice, the proportion of neutrophils and macrophages in the peritoneal exudate and their phagocytic and candidacidal activities should change with time. The number of neutrophils in the peritoneal exudate was greatly increased 6 h after administration of Con-A, and those...
متن کاملIFNγ Enhances CD64-Potentiated Phagocytosis of Treponema pallidum Opsonized with Human Syphilitic Serum by Human Macrophages
Syphilis is a multi-stage, sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum (Tp). Considered broadly, syphilis can be conceptualized as a dualistic process in which spirochete-driven inflammation, the cause of clinical manifestations, coexists to varying extents with bacterial persistence. Inflammation is elicited in the tissues, along with the persistence of spirochetes...
متن کاملSurfactant protein D increases phagocytosis of hypocapsular Cryptococcus neoformans by murine macrophages and enhances fungal survival.
Cryptococcus neoformans is a facultative intracellular opportunistic pathogen and the leading cause of fungal meningitis in humans. In the absence of a protective cellular immune response, the inhalation of C. neoformans cells or spores results in pulmonary infection. C. neoformans cells produce a polysaccharide capsule composed predominantly of glucuronoxylomannan, which constitutes approximat...
