We compared the phagocytosis of immune complexes (IC) and iC3b-opsonized derivatives (iC3b-IC) by human neutrophils. The phagocytosis of iC3b-IC via Fc gamma R and CR3 was much greater than that of IC via Fc gamma R alone. Adding ethanol to the cells decreased iC3b-IC phagocytosis to that of IC, which was not affected by these reagents, suggesting that the enhanced phagocytosis is attributable to CR3-mediated phospholipase D activation. The IC phagocytosis was inhibited more effectively by anti-Fc gamma IIIB, whereas the iC3b-IC phagocytosis was partly inhibited only by anti-Fc gamma RII. The main Fc gamma R might differ in IC and iC3b-IC phagocytosis.

D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D010739 Phospholipase D An enzyme found mostly in plant tissue. It hydrolyzes glycerophosphatidates with the formation of a phosphatidic acid and a nitrogenous base such as choline. This enzyme also catalyzes transphosphatidylation reactions. EC 3.1.4.4. Lecithinase D,Phosphatidylcholine Phosphohydrolase
D011433 Propranolol A widely used non-cardioselective beta-adrenergic antagonist. Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.

D003179 Complement C3b The larger fragment generated from the cleavage of COMPLEMENT C3 by C3 CONVERTASE. It is a constituent of the ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY C3 CONVERTASE (C3bBb), and COMPLEMENT C5 CONVERTASES in both the classical (C4b2a3b) and the alternative (C3bBb3b) pathway. C3b participates in IMMUNE ADHERENCE REACTION and enhances PHAGOCYTOSIS. It can be inactivated (iC3b) or cleaved by various proteases to yield fragments such as COMPLEMENT C3C; COMPLEMENT C3D; C3e; C3f; and C3g.
