Phagocytic

"There can be little doubt that the state of immunity which one attack of certain fevers confers against future attacks depends partly upon what is called the phagocytic action of leucocytes. ❋ Martha Meir Allen (1890)

The study specifically demonstrated the "phagocytic respiratory burst of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and monocytes were enhanced in adults that had been adjusted by chiropractors." ❋ Unknown (2009)

By the time agnathans appear on the scene, over 300 million years of evolution have resulted in phagocytic protolympocytes armed with non-rearranging Ig molecules, a valuable part of the innate immune system, ideally poised to take advantage of a fortuitous insertion of the transposon RAG elements resulting in adaptive immunity. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Interestingly, one mechanism by which phagocytic cells of the host immune system destroy pathogenic invaders is via release of reactive oxygen species. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Ilia I. Mechnikov (1845–1916) described the action of phagocytic cells in transparent starfish larvae. ❋ Unknown (2001)

Enhanced phagocytic cell respiratory burst induced by spinal manipulation: Potential role of substance P. ❋ Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier (2000)

It is enough to compare this point of view with the actual concept of the benign role of the inflammatory reaction in general and of the phagocytic reaction in particular, to gather how far we have come. ❋ Unknown (1967)

It is small wonder after so much evidence has been given on the valuable part played by the phagocytes, that research should concentrate on the conditions capable of strengthening phagocytic reaction. ❋ Unknown (1967)

Faced with such facts, some scientists stress the need to study not only the opsonic property of blood fluid but also to take into account the phagocytic function of the white corpuscles themselves. ❋ Unknown (1967)

Even were it soundly established that the phagocytes in acquired immunity do not undergo any modification, to their power of absorbing microbes, this result would not in any way invalidate the general fact of augmentation in the defensive power of the phagocytic system. ❋ Unknown (1967)

But the amboceptors are nothing else than phagocytic products excreted in the other fluid surroundings. ❋ Unknown (1967)

European laboratory and with no particular love of the phagocytic theory, has nevertheless been forced to admit that augmenting the phagocytic reaction in the use of the Bier method is one of the main factors effecting cure. ❋ Unknown (1967)

The place of the phagocytic system in immunity has however emerged from the stage of theory and is now doctrinal. ❋ Unknown (1967)

This general law that in all cases of immunity the phagocytic reaction is pronounced, leads one to conclude that the degree of phagocytosis can be used in medical prognosis. ❋ Unknown (1967)

It goes without saying that the phagocytic reaction is helped by every means at the organism's command. ❋ Unknown (1967)

At this point, it may seem paradoxical that in spite of the serious modifications that follow acquired immunity, the white corpuscles show no augmentation of their function which may strictly be termed phagocytic. ❋ Unknown (1967)

The sum of the very numerous facts established in the archives of science leaves no room to doubt the major part played by the phagocytic system, as the organism's main defence against the danger from infectious agents of all kinds, as well as their poisons. ❋ Unknown (1967)

All means are used to augment the phagocytic reaction to ensure cure and immunity. ❋ Unknown (1967)
