This cooperative partnership represents a factor for increased efficiency of the MYPS. As already noted by Metchnikoff , the presence of two professional phagocytes is exclusive of the immune system of vertebrates. This is a safe way of macrophages to make use of powerful but dangerous microbicidal molecules avoiding the problems of permanently carrying these cytotoxic factors.
This strategy is a target of key virulence mechanisms of successful pathogens. Based on the principle that phagocyte cell systems must include all dedicated phagocytic cells, the creation of the MYPS Silva, a was proposed, changing the unacceptable prevailing situation where the only phagocyte cell system in use MPS excludes neutrophils. The members of this system have common origin and share avid phagocytic abilities.
Thus, neutrophils and macrophages are the main arms of this system. In conclusion, the MYPS is a system of dedicated phagocytic cells that groups neutrophils, inflammatory monocytes, macrophages, and immature myeloid DCs; these functions in an interacting and cooperative way in the host defense against microbial infection.

Development of monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Blood monocytes consist of two principal subsets with distinct migratory properties. Immunity 19, 71— Grage-Griebenow, E. Hoffstein, S. Fibonectin is a component of the surface coat of human neutrophils. White blood cells, also called leukocytes, defend the body against disease.
Neutrophils are phagocytes, cells that consume invading pathogens. Lymphocytes, the second most common type of white blood cell, disseminate through the organs and tissues of the lymphatic system. Lymphocytes target specific pathogens as part of the immune response.
Other white blood cells include eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes. Phagocytes are a group of white blood cells that includes neutrophils. These cells consume bacteria and other pathogens to protect the body from infection. The process begins when chemicals from a pathogen, or damaged tissue, attract a phagocyte. The phagocyte binds to the microbe, envelopes it, and then eats it.
Enzymes within the phagocyte kill and digest the pathogen. This action is called phagocytosis. In the mid s, Bradley and Metcalf 23 in Australia and Pluzink and Sachs 24 in Israel independently developed in vitro culture techniques for hematopoietic cells and discovered the colony-stimulating factors Figure 2. Subsequently, rapid advances in molecular biology during the late s allowed cloning of the genes for these growth factors and their receptors.
These studies led to fundamental insights into the mechanisms responsible for physiological regulation of neutrophil production. Colony assay led to the identification of the colony-stimulating factors beginning in the late s. Bone marrow cells including stem cells were added to form a second layer 2. When the dish was incubated, colonies of white blood cells formed in the second layer 3. The colonies were counted and the cells identified 4.
When the contents of the first layer were varied, different types of colonies formed, implying the existence of a range of colony-stimulating factors.

Therapeutically, the development of the colony-stimulating factors as therapeutic agents has had a major impact on the practice of hematology and oncology.
Both G-CSF and GM-CSF have a multitude of pharmacological effects, including increasing the proliferative activity of progenitor cells, shortening the time for neutrophil production and maturation in the marrow, accelerating the release of maturing cells from the marrow to the blood, augmenting the production of neutrophil granule proteins, and stimulating the release of proteases and perhaps other constituents from the cells to their surroundings.
Somewhat serendipitously, it was learned that these factors, as part of their effect to expand the hematopoietic tissue mass and the production and deployment of phagocytes, stimulate the release of progenitor cells from the marrow to the blood. The presence of granules in neutrophils, monocytes, and eosinophils was recognized by Metchnikov and Ehrlich, 6 , 7 and the proteins associated with neutrophils were first defined through biochemical and histochemical studies beginning early in the 20th century.
In , Chediak, a Cuban physician, described patients with an autosomal recessive disease with several distinctive characteristics, including abnormal leukocyte granules. Advances in electron microscopy in this same era allowed dissection of the phagocytic process, and phase contrast microscopy allowed visualization of the killing of microbes. Purification, quantification, and understanding of the role of each of the phagocyte granule proteins have proved a complex task.
From the work of Bainton et al, it was learned that granule proteins are produced in sequence, with the earliest proteins produced in myeloid progenitors and packaged in primary granules.
Neutrophil granules serve as reservoirs for digestive and hydrolytic enzymes prior to delivery into the phagosome.
Pioneering studies by Spitznagel, 37 Elsbach and Weiss, 38 and Ganz et al 39 indicated that azurophilic granule contents possess microbicidal activity and may play an important role in the tissue destruction observed during inflammatory reactions. In contrast, congenital deficiency of myeloperoxidase from the primary granules of neutrophils is generally not associated with an increased risk of serious infections. The killing of microbes is a critical physiological function of phagocytes.
How this occurs was perhaps the most interesting and important observation related to these cells of the last half century. Before the s, the general aspects of the process of phagocytosis—from the rich glycogen supply of the neutrophil cytoplasm to the enzymatic contents of the neutrophil granules—were already recognized.
In the early s, Valentine and Beck described glycolysis by leukocytes 45 and Sbarra and Karnovsky described the burst of glycolysis that occurs associated with phagocytosis.
Although phagocytes have other microbicidal mechanisms, including antimicrobial peptides eg, defensins and broadly acting proteases, phagocytosis with generation of reactive oxygen species and hypochlorous acid is still regarded as the critical killing mechanism for most invading pathogens.

It had been known since that a marked increase in neutrophil oxygen consumption, termed the respiratory burst, occurred during phagocytosis. Following the discovery of the importance of NADPH oxidase, mentioned above, investigators elucidated its components and the effects of mutations in the NADPH complex over a period of several decades.
It was referred to as cytochrome b and was later found to be composed of a heavy and light chain. Nunoi et al 68 and Volpp et al 69 identified 2 forms of autosomal CGD in which either a kDa or a kDa protein was genetically altered. Subsequently, defects in the light chain of cytochrome b known as p22 phox were found to account for some CGD cases.
Unraveling the details of the molecular biology, biochemistry, and potential therapies for this disorder have been a major focus of phagocyte research for more than 40 years. Final interaction of the p67 phox and Rac with flavocytochrome b induces conformational change, resulting in electron flow. Structure and regulation of the neutrophil respiratory burst oxidase: comparison with nonphagocyte oxidases. The surface of the neutrophil is complex, with myriads of folds, crevices, and sites for interaction of the neutrophil with its surroundings.
Antibody participation in opsonization including IgM and in some circumstances IgG was elegantly demonstrated by Brown et al to activate complement components, which resulted in the deposition of C3 on the surface microbes to initiate complement-dependent opsonization of encapsulated virulent pathogens.
The birth of understanding of immunodeficiency came with the report of the first case of X-linked agammaglobulinemia in by Bruton et al.
Neutrophils and monocytes also express cell-adhesion molecules, such as selectins and integrins, which, if mutated as seen in leukocyte adhesion deficiency 2 and leukocyte adhesion deficiency 1, respectively, affect the trafficking of neutrophils by impeding their rolling and subsequent adhesion to the capillary vascular wall in the process of diapedesis and eventual migration into tissue.
Neutrophils bear a family of receptors that facilitate the migration of phagocytes after they leave the vascular compartment. This critical response can be triggered in a multiplicity of ways, and the development of the Boyden chamber was strategically important for dissecting the specific roles of individual chemotactic factors, as demonstrated by Ward and Becker.
These include receptors for bacterially derived or synthesized N -formyl peptides, platelet activating factor PAF , leukotriene B-4 LTB-4 , and a variety of other chemokines and ligands for Toll-like receptors. The importance of the chemokine receptors is illustrated by findings in patients with the myelokathexis syndrome, also referred to as WHIM warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myleokathexis syndrome, first described in the s by Zuelzer. This syndrome is now attributable to a defect in the chemokine receptor CXCR Neutrophils also bear surface receptors for the colony-stimulating factors granulocyte colony-stimulating factor G-CSF and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor GM-CSF from early in development to the mature circulating neutrophil.
The neutrophil is responsive to chemotactic factors and ingested particles, and undergoes metabolic and morphologic changes. Ligand binding to neutrophil surface induces hyperpolarization and calcium fluxes increase, and cyclic AMP rises transiently.
In the posterior of the moving cell is a knoblike tail. The formation of the pseudopodium is essential for neutrophil locomotion. Contributions of Stossel in describing cytoskeletal chemistry provided insight into the basis of neutrophil locomotion, particle ingestion, and digestion. The actin in the pseudopodia exists as a gel and is concentrated at the cell periphery along with myosin, which upon being engaged permits phagocytosis to occur.
A rise in calcium concentration dissolves the actin gel by activating the protein gelsolin, which shortens actin filaments and allows for sol formation permitting neutrophil movement and directionality. When a neutrophil comes in contact with a particle, the pseudopodium flows round the particle. Its extensions fuse and thereby it compasses the particle within the phagosome. Silverstein observed the phagocyte membrane adheres firmly to particles it ingests and surrounds the particle in a zipperlike fashion.
Leukocyte chemoattractants induce a series of metabolic changes including activation of trimeric G-proteins followed by enhancing intracellular calcium levels, lipid remodeling, and protein kinase activations.
These events culminate in fusion of granule membranes with phagosomes or with the plasma membrane. The importance of Rac-2 function in human neutrophil chemotaxis and NADPH oxidase activation has been highlighted by the discovery of a toddler with a naturally occurring dominant-negative Rac-2 mutation. This individual suffered from severe, recurrent infection, a markedly reduced neutrophil migration, and NADPH oxidase—dependent activation.
Studies by Greenberg and Grinstein in macrophages have contributed to the understanding of the mechanism of phagocytosis initiated by Fc receptor engagement. The Fc receptors require phosphorylation of the receptors themselves or associated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activating motif ITAM —containing subunits, by members of the Src family. Pseudopodia extension in turn requires a wave of lipid remodeling in which phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase PI3K is generated at the phagosomal cup.
Cessation of PI3 kinase is abrupt and in part is due to the recruitment of lipid phosphotase SHIP to the phagocytic cup. Dendritic cells are specialized antigen-presenting cells that have long outgrowths called dendrites, which help to engulf microbes and other invaders.
Dendritic cells are present in the tissues that are in contact with the external environment, mainly the skin, the inner lining of the nose, the lungs, the stomach, and the intestines. Once activated, they mature and migrate to the lymphoid tissues, where they present antigens to T and B cells to initiate the adaptive immune response.
This involves deriving T and B cells that are specific towards a single antigen from naive lymphocytes. Neutrophils are a type of PMN granulocyte normally found in the bloodstream. They are the most abundant type of phagocyte and the first responder during inflammation.
Once they have received the appropriate chemokine signals, neutrophils leave the bloodstream and reach the site of an infection through adhering to the vascular endothelium to squeeze into the tissues. There, they rapidly engulf invaders coated with antibodies, damaged cells, or cellular debris. They also degranulate to release perforin, granzyme, proteases, and other chemicals to cause cytotoxic damage to pathogens and occasionally normal bodily tissues as well.
Neutrophils die after phagocytosis, becoming pus that is later cleaned up by macrophages. Extravasion of Neutrophils : Neutrophils move through the blood to the site of infection by rolling onto the vascular endothelium and adhering to it to slip through small gaps into the tissues during an inflammatory response. Mast cells are PMN granulocytes with toll-like receptors that tend to trigger inflammatory responses.
Mast cells can consume, kill, and process their antigens. In addition to these functions, mast cells produce cytokines kept in their granules, such as histamine, that induce an inflammatory response when a pathogen is detected.
