... reticuloendothelial cells (REC). From the results obtained it is concluded that iron is released within the splenic REC after erythrophagocytosis while the hemoglobin spilt directly into the plasma is not processed by these cells. The activity of the REC varies with the agent, copper sulphate giving rise to a rapid...

...Hiroshi Ohta; Kazuyuki Shimizu Red cells coated with anti-Rh o antibody (IgG) were extensively ingested by human blood monocytes and macrophages and only rarely by neutrophils. The erythrophagocytosis was inhibited by free IgG 1 and IgG 3 . Less inhibition occurred with IgG 2 and IgG 4 indicating...

...Bhanu Iyengar; Kamla Chandra Equivalent hemolysis was produced in adult albino rats by intracardiac injection of copper sulfate phenylhydrazine and antiserum. Reticulocyte response and hemoglobin formation were studied in relation to splenic erythrophagocytic activity, hepatic erythrophagocytosis...

.... Significantly excessive erythrophagocytosis was demonstrated in samples of the patient’s blood which had been chilled and then incubated at 37 °C. The patient recovered spontaneously. The elliptocytosis does not appear to have contributed to the episode of haemolytic anaemia; the other elliptocytic member...

...R.J. Sokol; G. Hudson; J.M. Wales; N.T James As part of our ongoing investigations of mononuclear phagocytes in health and disease, measurement of antibody-dependent erythrophagocytosis and rosette formation was carried out during human macrophage development in a suspension culture system.
