Global changes in gene expression by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes during receptor-mediated phagocytosis: Cell fate is regulated at the level of gene expression
30 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Phagocytes are a critical component of the innate immune response in humans and eliminate invading microorganisms through a process known as phagocytosis. Two distinct receptor-linked phagocytic pathways, one with Ab receptors (FcRs; FcR, Fc receptor) and the other complement receptors (CRs), mediate binding and ingestion of pathogens by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Although progress has been made...
