Proteases of human leukocytes.
By L. A. MOUNTER AND WASFI ATIYEH T HE EXISTENCE of considerable proteolvtic activities associated with leukocytes has previously been reported, but little characterization of the enzymes has been carried out.13 Experiments with leukocyte preparations using newer enzyme inhibitors are very limited and it seemed probable that improved characterization might result from studies of this type. It w...
متن کاملChemotaxis of Human Leukocytes
Leukotaxis may be defined as the directional migration of leukocytes toward a chemotactic stimulus and is believed to represent the means by which a massive influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes occurs in an area of inflammation (30). The attraction of polymorphonuclear leukocytes is brought about by a series of effector substances involving complement components (27), bacterial culture filtra...
متن کاملMorphometry of human leukocytes.
In order to establish quantitative models of leukocyte functions, several morphometric parameters on individual white cells are needed. These include the diameter, volume, and membrane area of the cells and their nuclei in the undeformed state. A stereologic method was used to obtain these quantities from transmission electron microscopy of random sections through human white blood cells (neutr...
متن کاملHuman Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes
A B S T R A C T Acetyl glyceryl ether phosphorylcholine (AGEPC) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) induce concentration-dependent neutrophil aggregation. On a molar basis, LTB4 is 10 to 100 times more potent than AGEPC. AGEPC-induced aggregation is attenuated by two inhibitors of arachidonate lipoxygenation, eicosatetraynoic acid and nordihydroguaiaretic acid, and to a lesser extent by the cyclooxygenas...
متن کاملCryopreservation of Human Mucosal Leukocytes
BACKGROUND Understanding how leukocytes in the cervicovaginal and colorectal mucosae respond to pathogens, and how medical interventions affect these responses, is important for developing better tools to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. An effective cryopreservation protocol for these cells following their isolation will make studying them more feasible. METHODS AND FIN...
