Microbial Phagocytic Receptors and Their Potential Involvement in Cytokine Induction in Macrophages
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Phagocytosis is an essential process for the uptake of large (>0.5 µm) particulate matter including microbes and dying cells. Specialized cells in the body perform phagocytosis which is enabled by cell surface receptors that recognize and bind target ...

Brain Abscess as Severe Presentation of Specific Granule Deficiency
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020 Severe invasive infections such as brain abscess in a child should prompt an immune evaluation. Specific granule deficiency (SGD) is a rare morphologic neutrophil granular defect characterized by reduced granules within neutrophils, absence of granule ...

LC3-Associated Phagocytosis in Bacterial Infection
Pathogens, 2022 LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) is a noncanonical autophagy process reported in recent years and is one of the effective mechanisms of host defense against bacterial infection. During LAP, bacteria are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs),

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of chronic and relapsing infection, especially when the ability of the immune system to sterilize a focus of infection is compromised (e.g., because of a foreign body or in the cystic fibrosis lung).

Mechanisms and roles of phagocytosis in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2007 Our understanding of the humoral immune response in both vertebrates and invertebrates has dramatically deepened in the past decade. In contrast, many of the mechanisms and roles of the cellular immune response remain to be elucidated. Phagocytosis is at

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 Phagocytosis, a critical early event in the microbicidal response of neutrophils, is now appreciated to serve multiple functions in a variety of cell types. Professional phagocytes play a central role in innate immunity by eliminating pathogenic bacteria,

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1997 Activation of lung phagocytes, whether involving residential or recruited phagocytic cells (macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils), results in a series of products important for development of inflammatory injury of the lung. An understanding of the mechanisms of cell activation as well as how products of these activated cells interact with cellular and ...

Staphylococcus aureus Multiplexes Death-Effector Deoxyribonucleosides to Neutralize Phagocytes
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Adenosine synthase A (AdsA) is a key virulence factor of Staphylococcus aureus, a dangerous microbe that causes fatal diseases in humans. Together with staphylococcal nuclease, AdsA generates deoxyadenosine (dAdo) from neutrophil extracellular DNA traps ...

The Application of Organotypic Brain Slice Culture to Study Microglial Differentiation by Lycopersicon esculentum and Sambucus nigra Lectin Histochemistry [PDF]
Journal of Cell and Molecular Research, 2014 Microglia cells are a subset of central nervous system (CNS) macrophages. Changes in the CNS such as injury, or developmental events, follow by morphological and physiological changes in microglia cells.

Arts et Savoirs, 2022 This article traces the imaginative and linguistic work at play in the history of immunity from late nineteenth to early twentieth century France, culminating with Elie Metchnikoff, the “father” of immunology, and his discovery, the phagocyte ...
