Stimulated Macrophages Akio MIYAMA, * Y Page 1 Microbiol. Immunol. Vol. 24 (12), 1223-1232 …

Complement Proteins and Macrophages 1. Quantitative Estimation of Factor B Produced by
Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages 1 Page 1 Microbiol. Immunol. Vol. 23 (10), 987-995, 1979 …

Macrophages secrete a wide variety of substances, including several that may play a role in
inflammatory reactions (prostaglandins, pyrogen, interferon), lysozyme, various acid …

It has been previously shown that the activated form of Factor B (Factor Bb) of the alternative
pathway of complement activation stimulates monocyte spreading and killing of xenogenic …

After in vivo treatment of mice with thioglycollate medium, the amount of native factor B
which could be detected in vitro in culture supernatants of peritoneal macrophages was …

Factor B of the alternative pathway of complement activation was shown to be synthesized
and secreted by unstimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages. The activity of B in the culture …

The net production of the complement protein C2, C4, and factor B differ among
mononuclear phagocytes from peripheral blood and different tissues in experimental …

The human pre-monocytic cell line U-937 was shown to synthesize and to secrete
increasing amounts of factor B in short term cultures in serum-free medium containing BSA …

In our studies on complement secretion functional Cl, C4, C2, C3, P, D and B were clearly
identified in the same cultures. Functional assays did not allow the detection of C5 to C9 …

The effect of inflammation on C (C2 and C4) biosynthesis by bronchoalveolar and peritoneal
cells was studied with methods that detect changes in synthesis rates and qualitative …
