Poractant alfa (Curosurf^®) increases phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils by alveolar macrophages in vivo

Respiratory Research, 2012
Background Clearance of apoptotic neutrophils in the lung is an essential process to limit inflammation, since they could become a pro-inflammatory stimulus themselves.

Entry and elimination of marine mammal Brucella spp. by hooded seal (Cystophora cristata) alveolar macrophages in vitro. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
A high prevalence of Brucellapinnipedialis serology and bacteriology positive animals has been found in the Northeast Atlantic stock of hooded seal (Cystophoracristata); however no associated gross pathological changes have been identified. Marine mammal

TIV vaccination modulates host responses to influenza virus infection that correlate with protection against bacterial superinfection [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Influenza virus infection predisposes to secondary bacterial pneumonia. Currently licensed influenza vaccines aim at the induction of neutralizing antibodies and are less effective if the induction of neutralizing antibodies is low and/or the

Targeted PPARγ deficiency in alveolar macrophages disrupts surfactant catabolism

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Surfactant accumulates in alveolar macrophages of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) knockout (KO) mice and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) patients with a functional loss of GM-CSF resulting from neutralizing anti–GM-CSF ...

Coxiella burnetii Blocks Intracellular Interleukin-17 Signaling in Macrophages [PDF]

, 2018
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiological agent of Q fever. Successful host cell infection requires the Coxiella type IVB secretion system (T4BSS), which translocates bacterial effector proteins across the vacuole ...

Assessment of the oxidative metabolism of calves’ bronchoalveolar cells: comparison between NBT and fluorimetric techniques

Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 2018
: Evaluation of alveolar macrophage functions of cattle is an important tool in order to assess whether measures taken during the cattle husbandry can decrease the respiratory tract defense.

Germination of Aspergillus fumigatus inside avian respiratory macrophages is associated with cytotoxicity [PDF]

, 2012
Although aspergillosis is one of the most common diseases in captive birds, the pathogenesis of avian aspergillosis is poorly known. We studied the role of avian respiratory macrophages as a first line of defense against avian aspergillosis.

Current concepts on the role of inflammation in COPD and lung cancer [PDF]

, 2009
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are leading cause of death, and both are associated with cigarette smoke exposure. It has been shown that 50–70% of patients diagnosed with lung cancer suffer from COPD, and reduced lung ...

A20 (Tnfaip3) deficiency in myeloid cells protects against influenza A virus infection [PDF]

, 2012
The innate immune response provides the first line of defense against viruses and other pathogens by responding to specific microbial molecules. Influenza A virus (IAV) produces double-stranded RNA as an intermediate during the replication life cycle ...

Phagolysosomal pH in Alveolar Macrophages [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1992
We studied phagolysosomal pH in alveolar macrophages (AM) using fluorescein-labeled yeast (FYP) and silica particles (FSP) as probes. Fluorescence intensities from the ingested test particles were measured on populations of AM using fluorescence spectrometry and on individual phagolysosomes using fluorescence microscopy.
