Characteristics of human mononuclear phagocytes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there is defective monocyte chemotaxis in some types of primary immunodeficiency syndrome, probably responsible for candidiasis and related to the absence of delayed‐type hypersensitivity.

TL;DR: Various data, in view of the relatively few images of migration of leukocytes from the interstitial tissue into the limiting membrane, indicated that the monocytoid cells may form a self-renewing cell population.

TL;DR: Monitoring inflammatory response, oxidative stress and angiogenesis in the endometriosis lesions is of vital importance in understanding the pathophysiological changes during early development of endometRIosis.

TL;DR: PA activity of monocytes from children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia was not significantly different from normal subjects, but it was low in some patients at relapse, and the activity in tuberculosis was significantly higher than that in normal subjects.

TL;DR: Inclusion of cells in the "mononuclear phagocyte system" is based on similarities in the morphology, function, origin, and kinetics of the phagocytes, and reticular cells, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts (fibrocytes) are excluded.

TL;DR: A method is described for demonstrating leukocyte peroxidase activity in which benzidine dihydrochloride is used as the indicator compound instead of the more commonly used but potentially more hazardous benzidine base.

TL;DR: Results indicate that attachment of a particle to specific receptors on the macrophage plasma membrane is not sufficient to trigger ingestion of that particle, and that ingestion requires the sequential, circumferential interaction of particle-bound ligands with specific plasma membrane receptors not involved in the initial attachment process.
