We investigated the effect of alveolysin on human granulocytes. Alveolysin is an exoprotein produced by Bacillus alvei and belongs to the group of sulfhydryl-activated cytolysins. Other members of this group are streptolysin O and theta-toxin from Clostridium perfringens. It is demonstrated that alveolysin leads to leukotriene generation from human granulocytes, which exert chemotactic (leukotriene B4) and slow-reacting substance (leukotriene C4, D4, and E4) activity under sublytic concentrations.
我们研究了肺泡溶素对人粒细胞的作用。肺泡溶素是由蜂房芽孢杆菌产生的一种外蛋白,属于巯基激活细胞毒素类。该类的其他成员有链球菌溶血素O和产气荚膜梭菌的θ毒素。已证明肺泡溶素可导致人粒细胞产生白三烯,在亚裂解浓度下,这些白三烯具有趋化活性(白三烯B4)和慢反应物质活性(白三烯C4、D4和E4)。
