Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection induces functional neutrophil changes. Using both Candida albicans and fluorescent-aggregate phagocytosis assays, we examined whether neutrophil and dimethyl sulfoxide-differentiated HL-60 cell infection impairs internalization. A. phagocytophilum infection significantly decreased phagocytosis compared to that of controls (P < 0.05). This further impairment of neutrophil function may promote opportunistic infections and exacerbate disease.
嗜吞噬细胞无形体感染会引起中性粒细胞功能改变。我们使用白色念珠菌和荧光聚集体吞噬试验,检测了嗜吞噬细胞无形体感染中性粒细胞及二甲基亚砜分化的HL-60细胞是否会损害内化作用。与对照组相比,嗜吞噬细胞无形体感染显著降低了吞噬作用(P < 0.05)。中性粒细胞功能的这种进一步损害可能会促进机会性感染并加重疾病。
