The rate of immunological and non-immunological phagocytosis of staphylococci by lipase pre-treated human granulocytes and monocytes was compared. It was found that the effect of this enzyme on two types of cells is opposite. Lipase decreases phagocytosis by granulocytes and increases by monocytes. The revealed differences between phagocytosing cells studied prompted us to investigate the influence of lipase on Fc receptors on these cells (rosette EA test). The different susceptibility of Fc receptors on non-activated phagocytes to lipase was found. This could be at least partially responsible for the difference observed between phagocytic activity of granulocytes (decreased) and monocytes (increased) pretreated with staphylococcal lipase. Inactivated enzyme showed a similar effect as active enzyme in the case of granulocytes. However, inactivated enzyme had no effect on rosette formation by lipase pretreated monocytes, indicating an enzymatic effect.

D008049 Lipase An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. It is produced by glands on the tongue and by the pancreas and initiates the digestion of dietary fats. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.3.

D006098 Granulocytes Leukocytes with abundant granules in the cytoplasm. They are divided into three groups according to the staining properties of the granules: neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic. Mature granulocytes are the NEUTROPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and BASOPHILS. Granulocyte

D012397 Rosette Formation The in vitro formation of clusters consisting of a cell (usually a lymphocyte) surrounded by antigenic cells or antigen-bearing particles (usually erythrocytes, which may or may not be coated with antibody or antibody and complement). The rosette-forming cell may be an antibody-forming cell, a memory cell, a T-cell, a cell bearing surface cytophilic antibodies, or a monocyte possessing Fc receptors. Rosette formation can be used to identify specific populations of these cells. Immunocytoadherence,Formation, Rosette,Formations, Rosette,Immunocytoadherences,Rosette Formations
D013211 Staphylococcus aureus Potentially pathogenic bacteria found in nasal membranes, skin, hair follicles, and perineum of warm-blooded animals. They may cause a wide range of infections and intoxications.
