Phagocytosis: Our Current Understanding of a Universal Biological Process
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Phagocytosis is a cellular process for ingesting and eliminating particles larger than 0.5 μm in diameter, including microorganisms, foreign substances, and apoptotic cells.

Expression of the Alpha8 Integrin Chain Facilitates Phagocytosis by Renal Mesangial Cells
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018 Background/Aims: Healing of mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis involves degradation of excess extracellular matrix, resolution of hypercellularity by apoptosis and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Integrin receptors participate in the regulation of

High-throughput quantification of early stages of phagocytosis
BioTechniques, 2013 Phagocytosis—the engulfment of cells and foreign bodies—is an important cellular process in innate immunity, development, and disease. Quantification of various stages of phagocytosis, especially in a rapid screening fashion, is an invaluable tool for ...

Efficient measurement of opsonising antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum merozoites. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Antibodies targeting merozoites are important in protection from malaria. Therefore, merozoite surface proteins are attractive vaccine candidates. There is a need for robust functional assays to investigate mechanisms of acquired immunity and vaccine ...

STUDIES ON PHAGOCYTOSIS. [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1906 The studies of Leishman, of Wright and Douglas, of Neufeld and Rimpau, of McFarland and Engle, and of others, have opened up a new field of investigation for the elucidation of the problem of the mechanism of immunity. The experiments that have been reported thus far have dealt almost entirely with the opsonic powers of the blood serum against ...

Research progress of astrocyte phagocytosis in Alzheimer′s disease [PDF]
Jichu yixue yu linchuangAstrocytes are heavily activated in Alzheimer′s disease, engulfing damaged synapses, Aβ proteins, Tau proteins, apoptotic cells and other substrates. However, these substrates are difficult to degrade, accumulate as the disease progresses, and impair the

Phagocytosis Assay of Microglia for Dead Neurons in Primary Rat Brain Cell Cultures
Bio-Protocol, 2016 Clearance of dead brain tissue including the dead neurons through phagocytosis is an endogenous function of microglia in the brain, which is critical for inflammation resolution after ischemic stroke or head trauma.
