The role of protein synthesis in polymorphonuclear leukocyte phagocytosis II.
1978
: Polymorphonuclear leukocytes collected from healthy human volunteers were treated with puromycin which inhibited protein synthesis in the cell. The neutrophils exhibited a marked decrease in phagocytosis after 1 h. The myeloperoxidase mediated conversion of iodide to a protein-bound form was also decreased. Hexosemonophosphate shunt activity remained similar for both puromycin treated PMN and control cells at 1 h. The results suggest that new protein synthesis is necessary to maintain PMN function at full capacity.
