A study was made of the influence of the level and biological activity of plasma fibronectin of phagocytosis and opsonic activity of blood plasma in 147 patients with food toxinfections depending on a period and degree of severity of a course of disease. Plasma fibronectin concentration was determined by rocket immunoelectrophoresis. Fibronectin biological activity was assessed by cold heparin precipitation. Opsonic activity of blood plasma before and after fibronectin inactivation in it was investigated using indices of phagocytosis which was studied by optical microscopy. Food toxinfections were attended by a decrease in the level and biological activity of plasma fibronectin returning to normal during therapy and convalescence. A degree of the reduction of the level of plasma fibronectin reflected the severity of a course of food toxinfections. Phagocytic insufficiency developed in food toxinfections. One of its mechanisms was a decrease in opsonic activity of plasma fibronectin as a result of the reduction of its level.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009895 Opsonin Proteins Proteins that bind to particles and cells to increase susceptibility to PHAGOCYTOSIS, especially ANTIBODIES bound to EPITOPES that attach to FC RECEPTORS. COMPLEMENT C3B may also participate. Opsonin,Opsonin Protein,Opsonins,Protein, Opsonin
D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D005260 Female Females
D005353 Fibronectins Glycoproteins found on the surfaces of cells, particularly in fibrillar structures. The proteins are lost or reduced when these cells undergo viral or chemical transformation. They are highly susceptible to proteolysis and are substrates for activated blood coagulation factor VIII. The forms present in plasma are called cold-insoluble globulins.

D005517 Foodborne Diseases Acute illnesses, usually affecting the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, brought on by consuming contaminated food or beverages. Most of these diseases are infectious, caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, or parasites that can be foodborne. Sometimes the diseases are caused by harmful toxins from the microbes or other chemicals present in the food. Especially in the latter case, the condition is often called food poisoning.
