Suppressive factor of tumour origin against macrophage phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus. 1980

H Saito, and H Tomioka

Peritoneal macrophages from Sarcoma-180-bearing mice against Staphylococcus aureus were studied to determine the in vitro phagocytic capacities. When the phagocytic system was opsonized with normal mouse serum, macrophage phagocytic activity increased markedly soon after tumour graft and then returned to normal. A new antiphagocytic factor was detected in the serum of tumour-bearers soon after tumour implantation. This factor was of tumour origin, stable even at a temperature of 56 degrees C for 30 min and non-dialysable. Peptone-starch-induced macrophages were less sensitive to the factor than their unstimulated counterpart.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
