[Chemotaxis and phagocytosis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in malnourished children]. 1977

A González-Mendoza, and R Ramos-Zepeda, and G Farinatti, and M G Urbiola, and S Frenk

Chemotactic activity of neutrophil polimorphonuclear cells, liberation of chemotactic factors by plasma proteins and phagocytic function of PMN cells by nitroblue tetrazolium reaction were evaluated in 20 malnourished children (from grade 1 through grade III) and in 20 normal children with similar age and sex, without any apparent infection. Also quantitative determination of immunoglobulins A, G and M and C3 complement fraction concentration in serum was made. Chemotactic and phagocytic activity were normal. Serum levels of Igs and C3 complement were within the lower limits of the normal range.

D009580 Nitroblue Tetrazolium Colorless to yellow dye that is reducible to blue or black formazan crystals by certain cells; formerly used to distinguish between nonbacterial and bacterial diseases, the latter causing neutrophils to reduce the dye; used to confirm diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease.

D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D011502 Protein-Energy Malnutrition The lack of sufficient energy or protein to meet the body's metabolic demands, as a result of either an inadequate dietary intake of protein, intake of poor quality dietary protein, increased demands due to disease, or increased nutrient losses.

D002634 Chemotaxis, Leukocyte The movement of leukocytes in response to a chemical concentration gradient or to products formed in an immunologic reaction. Leukotaxis,Leukocyte Chemotaxis
D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.
