The Entry of Granule-associated Peroxidase into the Phagocytic Vacuoles of Eosinophils
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ultrastructural localization of peroxidase was studied in guinea pig eosinophils which had phagocytized zymosan or Escherichia coli. After phagocytosis, the membrane of the granule was joined to the membrane of the phagocytic vacuole, and the enzyme, which is ordinarily restricted to the matrix of the granule, was seen in the vacuole surrounding the ingested particle.

Sequential Degranulation of the Two Types of Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte Granules during Phagocytosis of Microorganisms
The sequential discharge of neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) granules-azurophils and specifics-was investigated by electron microscopy and cytochemistry. Thus the enzyme content of PMN phagocytic vacuoles was determined at brief intervals after phagocytosis of bacteria, utilizing peroxidase as a marker enzyme for azurophil granules, and alkaline phosphatase for specifics. At 30 s,...
متن کاملSynthesis of eosinophil-associated enzymes in HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells.
Eosinophils derived from HL-60 cells share many of the abnormalities of granule histochemistry and morphology frequently seen in eosinophils of patients with certain malignancies, especially those seen in acute myelomonocytic leukemia with abnormal eosinophils (FAB class M4eo). In order to understand the pathogenesis of these abnormalities, four enzymes, characteristic of the eosinophil, were s...
متن کاملFailure of nitro blue tetrazolium reduction in the phagocytic vacuoles of leukocytes in chronic granulomatous disease.
The leukocytes of patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) may be identified by their failure to reduce Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (NBT) during phagocytosis. This reaction, normally detected in the phagocytic vacuole, is absent or delayed in CGD monocytes and eosinophils as well as in neutrophils, even though sonicates of normal and CGD leukocytes contain equal activities of a cyanide inse...
متن کاملKinetics of fusion of the cytoplasmic granules with phagocytic vacuoles in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Biochemical and morphological studies
This study on human neutrophils was conducted to measure the kinetics of degranulation of the different cytoplasmic granules into phagocytic vacuoles, and to relate the timing of these events to the burst of respiration that accompanies phagocytosis by these cells. Purified neutrophils were incubated with latex particles opsonized with human immunoglobulin (Ig)G, and phagocytosis was stopped at...
متن کاملElectron Microscope Studies on the Degranulation of Rabbit Peritoneal Leukocytes during Phagocytosis
Electron microscopic observations have established the mechanisms underlying degranulation of neutrophils and eosinophils during phagocytosis. The content of the granules is released into the phagocytic vacuole when their membranes fuse with the membrane lining the vacuole. The discharge mechanism appears to be applicable to the various morphological types of granules seen in rabbit polymorphs....
