Avian inflammatory macrophage function: shifts in arachidonic acid metabolism, respiratory burst, and cell-surface phenotype during the response to Sephadex.

Abstract excerpt

The avian inflammatory response to intraperitoneal (i.p.) Sephadex injection produces macrophages which display characteristics of an increasingly activated state over time. We examined elicited chicken peritoneal exudate cells (PECs) with respect to superoxide anion production, arachidonic acid metabolism and cell surface Ia and transferrin receptor (TfR) expression from 4 to 96 h after i.p. stimulation. Avian...
