... a partial depletion of macrophages and was markedly reduced by engulfment/phagosome maturation inhibition, as detected by its association with high lysosomal activity. β-galactosidase activity in this region was also coupled with phagocytosis, against its relationship with cellular senescence. Interdigital...

..., which revealed distinct morphological varieties of haemocytes. Granulocytes and plasmatocytes responded to the bacterial challenge by phagocytosis. Histochemical staining indicated the presence of acid phosphatase in plasmatocytes and granulocytes. We also observed non-phagocytic prohemocytes...

...Xin Zhou; Siyuan Ma ABSTRACT Macrophages play crucial roles in combatting infectious diseases by promoting inflammation and phagocytosis. The decline of macrophage phagocytic function will bring many serious consequences, including weakened pathogen clearance. As an avian antibody, immunoglobulin Y...
