Phagocytic Uptake ofEncephalitozoon cuniculiby Nonprofessional Phagocytes [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2000 ABSTRACTEncephalitozoon cuniculiis an obligate intracellular, spore-forming parasite belonging to the microsporidia that can cause disseminated infection in immunocompromised persons.E. cuniculispores infect host cells by germination, i.e., by explosively everting the polar filament, through which the spore contents (sporoplasms) are subsequently ...

Tamm-Horsfall Protein Regulates Mononuclear Phagocytes in the Kidney [PDF]
, 2017 Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP), also known as uromodulin, is a kidney-specific protein produced by cells of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Although predominantly secreted apically into the urine, where it becomes highly polymerized, THP is ...

Reactive astrocytes function as phagocytes after brain ischemia via ABCA1-mediated pathway
Nature Communications, 2017 Astrocytes become reactive following various brain insults; however, the functions of reactive astrocytes are poorly understood. Here, we show that reactive astrocytes function as phagocytes after transient ischemic injury and appear in a limited ...

Developmental Cell, 2016 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

<em>Bacillus anthracis</em> Factors for Phagosomal Escape
Toxins, 2012 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
