Comparison of immune parameters in cows with normal and prolonged involution time of uterus
Indices of cellular immunity in postpartum Holsteincows with the normal (n = 9) and prolonged (n = 4) uterine involution time were evaluated. Peripheral white blood cells were isolated by lysis from postpartum animals.

Phagocytes and demonstration of Phagocytic activity
In Greek, “Phagein” is for “to eat” or “devour”, and “-cyte” suffix in biology denoting “cell”. Phagocytes are cells that protect the body by ingesting harmful foreign particles, bacteria and dead or dying cells. They are essential for fighting infections and for subsequent immunity. One litre of human blood contains about six billion phagocytes.

To stimulate the phagocytes [PDF]
“There is at bottom only one genuinely scientific treatment for all diseases, and that is to stimulate the phagocytes.” We have come a long way since this declamation by Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington in George Bernard Shaw’s 1906 play, The Doctor’s Dilemma.

<em>Bacillus anthracis</em> Factors for Phagosomal Escape
The mechanism of phagosome escape by intracellular pathogens is an important step in the infectious cycle. During the establishment of anthrax, <em>Bacillus anthracis</em> undergoes a transient intracellular phase in which spores are engulfed

2016 marks the centenary of the death of Elie Metchnikoff, whose 19th-century studies of starfish larvae led to the description of immune cell phagocytosis. This discovery, along with follow-up studies, earned Metchnikoff the 1908 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. We have come a long way since those early discoveries. A hundred years later, we now

Immunological mechanisms involved in macrophage activation and polarization in schistosomiasis
Human schistosomiasis is caused by helminths of the genus Schistosoma. Macrophages play a crucial role in the immune regulation of this disease. These cells acquire different phenotypes depending on the type of stimulus they receive.
