| Interestingly, serum enhanced the phagocytic ability of acanthamoebae, as measured by bacterial uptake. |
|
| These lipid-laden phagocytic cells tend to deposit within the skin and tendons, leading to xanthomas. |
|
| In general, chemotactic and phagocytic responses are significantly reduced. |
|
| In all of these cases, the secondary plastid is enclosed by multiple membranes, the outermost of which is apparently a derivative of the original phagocytic vacuole. |
|
| The next most common milk leukocyte is the macrophage, which is phagocytic like neutrophils and performs a number of other protective functions. |
|
| The pocket usually contains a collection of pus, dead phagocytic white blood cells, necrotic cells, and live or dead bacteria. |
|
| Antibodies bind to and neutralize pathogens or prepare them for uptake and destruction by phagocytic cells. |
|
| Products of complement activation cause smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability and induce degranulation of phagocytic cells, mast cells, and basophils. |
|
| The complement system and phagocytic cells are also used by most forms of invertebrate life. |
|
| There are two groups of phagocytic cells, white blood cells polymorphonuclear leukocytes and tissue cells. |
|
| Aside from being phagocytic, the macrophages in breastmilk manufacture lysozyme, increasing its amount in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. |
|
| Body iron stores are found associated with ferritin mainly in the hepatocytes and the mononuclear phagocytic system. |
|
| While the exact mechanism for escaping phagocytosis is unclear, it may occur because capsules make bacterial surface components more slippery, helping the bacterium to escape engulfment by phagocytic cells. |
|
| Particular emphasis is placed on identifying the components of the signaling complex associated with these receptors which are known to be of critical importance for the optimization of the phagocytic process. |
|
| This fluid contains phagocytic coelomocytes, which move through the vascular and hemal systems. |
|
| In particular, the origin of the so-called phagocytic mononuclear ameboid wandering cell had not been definitively determined. |
|
| The consumption of lactobacillus stimulates phagocytic activity. |
|
| Monocytes are actively motile and phagocytic. |
|
| The phagocytic capacity of neutrophils remains high throughout the peripartum period but the killing capacity is impaired. |
|
| As the red cell is not a phagocytic cell, it must be assumed that, prior to membrane invagination, considerable changes in the shape of the cell will have to take place. |
|
|
|
| The results showed more or less significant pro-inflammatory effects depending on the form of Ab used, as well as a reduction of the phagocytic capacity of the micro-glial cells. |
|
| The giant Cafeteria roenbergensis virus that infects a widespread marine phagocytic protist is a new member of the fourth domain of Life. |
|
| Additional modes of action include alteration or inhibition of various enzyme systems, suppression of phagocytic activity of macrophage and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and alteration of collagen biosynthesis. |
|
| Macrophages are a first line of defense against pathogens and malignancies by nature of their phagocytic, cytotoxic, and intercellular killing capacities. |
|
| Variation in the pattern of exposure to include a 1.5-hour resting period did not significantly alter the observed histopathological changes in the nose or the phagocytic index. |
|
| In this investigation, phagocytic cells are derived from the in vitro differentiation of HL60, a promyelocytic leukemia cell line or freshly isolated from peripheral blood. |
|
| The number of phagocytozing neutrophils is drastically reduced as well as the phagocytic capacity designated by a significantly lower number of ingested microbes. |
|
| Factors include temperature, water flow, nutrients, pipe material and condition, residual disinfectant, free-living phagocytic amoebae, mycobacteriophages, and other bacteria. |
|
| Phagocytic activity of blood cells was examined using formalinized sheep erythrocytes. |
