...Enni Syrén; Anna-Maija Raeste By a simple cytochemical method for the de- monstration of lysozyme (muramidase) activity, more than 95 % of human- and rat-blood monocytes could be identified and differentiated from lymphocytes. Peroxidase activity was seen in 83–88 % of the monocytes. When...

.... Fifty hours after the onset of the experiment, most of the mononuclear cells were muramidase-negative. In monocytic leukemia, mononuclear cells appeared rapidly in the exudate. The ready liberation of muramidase may play a significant role for the increased muramidase in this type of leukemia. © 1973...

...G. Meuret; K. Lowka; E.T. Brand; K.W. Kalkoff Detailed studies of monocytopoiesis and of blood monocytes were carried out in patients with erythrodermia, mycosis fungoides and skin reticulosis. A uniform pattern of several fundamental abnormalities was evaluated: (1) excessive monocytopoietic...

...G. Meuret; A. Bundschu-Lay; H.J. Senn; D. Huhn A case suffering from a so-called pure monocytic leukemia displayed excessive monocytic hyperproliferation, moderate histiocytic infiltrations in lymph nodes and liver, hyperproliferation of plasma cells and monoclonal hypergammaglobulinemia of the IgG...

...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...

...Barbara J. Bain; S.N. Wickramasinghe A striking linear relationship was found between the logarithms of the medians of the circulating neutrophil (granulocyte plus metamyelocyte) counts and the monocyte counts in 5 groups of individuals studied. These groups consisted of (1) 100 normal adult males...

... are taken up by normal human monocytes in short term culture was examined, and compared with the phagocytosis of red cells from cases of IgG-mediated haemolytic anaemia. Red cells from nonhaemolysing subjects were as avidly ingested in this system as were red cells from haemolysing patients. Similar results...

...A.M. Cohen; U.H. Lewinski; B. Klein; M. Djaldetti Satellitism of platelets to monocytes was observed in 3 patients suffering from polycythaemia vera, a myeloproliferative disorder and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. This phenomenon occurred on cells in the buffy coat obtained from venous blood...

...Asuman Ü. Müftüoğlu; Birsen Yalçin 28 untreated patients with Hodgkin’s disease have been studied in respect to skin reactivity to purified protein derivative and dinitrochlorobenzene and blood monocytes and T Lymphocytes. Cutaneous anergy as defined by unresponsiveness to both purified protein...

...Lanng Nielsen; F.K. Rømer; J. Ellegaard In 45 splenectomized individuals without malignancies, residual splenic tissue was detected by 99m Tc-scanning using reinjection of labelled heat-damaged autologous erythrocytes. The angiotensin-converting enzyme in serum (SACE) and the blood monocyte count...

... upper limit for age- and sex-matched controls. There was no indication that these elevated α 2 -PAG concentrations were related to type of leukaemia and no correlation between the circulating levels of α 2 -PAG and the absolute lymphocyte or monocyte counts was found. 14 01 1981 20 02 1981...

...K.H. Shumak; R.A. Rachkewich An antibody to human granulocytes was raised in rabbits by immunization with granulocytes pretreated with rabbit antibody to contaminating antigens. The antibody reacted not only with granulocytes but also with monocytes and bone marrow granulocyte precursors including...

...L.M. Snyder; L. Leb; J.B. Jacobs; N.L. Fortier; D. Reeves; L.L. Neri; M.St. John Peripheral blood monocytes isolated from patients with congenital hemolytic anemias, hereditary xerocytosis and spherocytosis, demonstrated in vivo engulfment of red cell and platelet fragments. In addition...

...D.C. Linch; D. Boyle; P.C.L. Beverley Progenitor cell fractions from normal human marrow have been prepared by a method that enables low numbers of cells to be cultured and results in very little T cell or monocyte contamination. The enrichment of 14- and 21-day BFU-E was similar to that for CFU-GM...
