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 ...

In vitro effects of nonesterified fatty acids on bovine neutrophils oxidative burst and viability [PDF]
, 2006 An in vitro study was conducted to examine the influence of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) on bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Eight healthy, midlactating Holstein cows were used as blood donors.

LC3-associated phagocytosis at a glance
Journal of Cell Science, 2019 Classically, canonical autophagy has been considered a survival mechanism initiated in response to nutrient insufficiency. We now understand that autophagy functions in multiple scenarios where it is necessary to maintain homeostasis. Recent evidence has

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

Nanoparticle elasticity regulates phagocytosis and cancer cell uptake
Science Advances, 2020 The deformation of soft nanocapsules during cell binding and endocytosis leads to a lower cellular uptake than the stiff ones. The ability of cells to sense external mechanical cues is essential for their adaptation to the surrounding microenvironment ...

Phagocytic properties of lung alveolar wall cells [PDF]
, 1974 For the purpose to define the mechanism of heavy metal intoxication by inhalation, morphologic observations were made on rat lungs after nasal instillation of iron colloid particles of positive and negative electric charges. Histochemical observation was

Chimeric antigen receptors that trigger phagocytosis
bioRxiv, 2018 Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are synthetic receptors that reprogram T cells to kill cancer. The success of CAR-T cell therapies highlights the promise of programmed immunity, and suggests that applying CAR strategies to other immune cell lineages ...

Hemocyte-Mediated Phagocytosis in Crustaceans
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Phagocytosis is an ancient, highly conserved process in all multicellular organisms, through which the host can protect itself against invading microorganisms and environmental particles, as well as remove self-apoptotic cells/cell debris to maintain ...
