Sialidase treatment of rat-erythrocytes: a model for cellular aging? 1981

M Franco, and F J Nordt, and A P Corfield, and R Schauer

An in vitro assay system was developed to test the propensity of "old" and sialidase-treated rat erythrocytes to be bound and phagocytosed by rat peritoneal macrophages. Cells considered to be old were phagocytosed to a greater degree than those considered to be young. When erythrocytes were treated with immobilized Vibrio cholerae sialidase, higher amounts of sialic acids had to be removed (25--30%) to induce binding and phagocytosis of the cells, than if the cells had been treated with soluble enzyme (9--15%).

D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D004905 Erythrocyte Aging The senescence of RED BLOOD CELLS. Lacking the organelles that make protein synthesis possible, the mature erythrocyte is incapable of self-repair, reproduction, and carrying out certain functions performed by other cells. This limits the average life span of an erythrocyte to 120 days. Erythrocyte Survival,Aging, Erythrocyte,Survival, Erythrocyte
D004912 Erythrocytes Red blood cells. Mature erythrocytes are non-nucleated, biconcave disks containing HEMOGLOBIN whose function is to transport OXYGEN.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
