Antibacterial activity of human mononuclear leukocytes againstStaphylococcus aureus

Folia Microbiologica, 1994
Human mononuclear leukocytes kill Staphylococcus aureus cells in vitro. The killing of the bacteria takes place even in the absence of antibodies. The presence of antibodies (in an autologous inactivated serum) usually enhances the antibacterial activity of mononuclear leukocytes. In some cases, however, this activity is markedly decreased by the serum,

Interleukin‐1 and tumor necrosis factor production by tumor‐associated mononuclear leukocytes and peripheral mononuclear leukocytes in cancer patients

International Journal of Cancer, 1988
AbstractThe production of interleukin‐I (IL‐I) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) by tumor‐associated mononuclear leukocytes (TAML) and peripheral mononuclear leukocytes (PBML) from 9 otherwise untreated patients with a variety of malignancies (lung, sarcoma, stomach, renal) was assessed.

C5a: A Chemotactic Factor for Mononuclear Leukocytes

The Journal of Immunology, 1971
Abstract Cleavage of guinea pig C5 results in the release of a biologically active fragmentation product (C5a) which enhances vascular permeability, contracts smooth muscle and is chemotactic for guinea pig and rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs).

MIGRATION INHIBITION OF HUMAN LEUKOCYTES MIXED WITH PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININ‐PREINCUBATED MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES

Allergy, 1975
An in vitro test able to demonstrate phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced migration inhibition of human peripheral blood leukocytes was investigated. The migration inhibition was demonstrated by the agarose migration technique. Purified mononuclear leukocytes which had been incubated for 30 min with PHA, then washed and added to non-separated leukocytes ...

Determination of beta adrenoceptor density on rabbit mononuclear leukocytes

Journal of Pharmacological Methods, 1988
The purpose of the present study was to devise a technique for the isolation of a relatively homogeneous mononuclear leukocyte (MNL) preparation from rabbit whole blood and determine the density and affinity of beta-adrenoceptors on MNL. A modified method based upon that by Böyum was developed to maximize isolation of MNL from red blood cells (RBC ...

Glucocorticoid receptors of mononuclear leukocytes from myasthenia gravis patients

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2009
The present study was performed to analyse glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binding in peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (MNL) from 39 myasthenia gravis (MG) patients (unoperated patients (n = 13), thymectomized patients (n = 14) and patients receiving glucocorticoids: thymectomized (n = 11) and unoperated (n = 6]. A whole cell binding assay with 3(H)

Uptake of nickel(II) by human peripheral mononuclear leukocytes

Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 1986
Dithiocarbamate-mediated nickel(II) uptake by human peripheral mononuclear leukocytes (mostly lymphocytes) was examined. The lipophilic ligands diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) and ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC) enhanced the cellular association of nickel(II), while ammonium dithiocarbamate (AD) had no effect.

Cathepsin D activity in human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes

Inflammation, 1989
To investigate the cellular origins of cathepsin D (CD) in inflammatory lesions, the CD content of lymphocyte subsets, monocytes, and macrophages were compared. Human monocytes, B lymphocytes, CD4+ T lymphocytes, and CD8+ T lymphocytes were separated from peripheral blood of normal donors.

Characterization of β-adrenoceptor subtypes in rabbit mononuclear leukocytes

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1989
Computer analysis of [125I]iodocyanopindolol competition studies using the relatively selective beta 1-adrenoceptor antagonist, ICI 89406, and the beta 2-selective antagonist, ICI 118551, on rabbit mononuclear leukocyte plasmalemmal preparations favored a two-site model indicating that both beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptor subtypes were present in ...

Glucocorticoid receptors on mononuclear leukocytes in polycystic ovary syndrome

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1998
Many studies have suggested that there is a possible hormonal dysregulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and an increased cortisol clearance in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Therefore in this study, we have examined the role of glucocorticoid receptor/s (GR) characteristics in the developing of these abnormalities in ...
