Application

Latex beads, amine-modified polystyrene, fluorescent blue has been used:
  • as inert beads to study the role of autophagy proteins in LC3-associated phagosome (LAP) maturation
  • in the culturing of peritoneal cells for phagocytic latex bead assay ex vivo
  • in the preparation of LAP stimuli coated beads

Biochem/physiol Actions

Polystyrene latex beads can be used to create latex agglutination systems. Polystyrene latex beads have been used to study the transmission of Mycobacterium leprae, the causative pathogen of leprosy, as well as to develop a method for mass screening for both pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis.

Microglial phagocytosis of amyloid-beta (Abeta) deposits is involved in Abeta clearance in vivo. To explore the ability of microglia to phagocytose beta, we cultured human microglia or human monocytic THP-1 cells directly on unfixed frontal cortex sections of an Alzheimer

To initiate normal embryonic development, an egg must receive a signal to become activated at fertilization. We here report that the ability of demembranated sperm heads to activate is abolished after incubation over the range 20-44 degreesC and is sensitive

LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) contributes to a wide range of cellular processes and notably to immunity. The stabilization of phagosomes by the macroautophagy machinery in human macrophages can maintain antigen presentation on MHC class II molecules. However, the molecular mechanisms involved

The noncanonical macroautophagy pathway, LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) has recently emerged as an important catabolic process involved during exogenous antigen processing. It has been described that in human macrophages and dendritic cells the direct recruitment of LC3 to the phagosomal membrane

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) is a cell surface receptor on macrophages and microglia that senses and responds to disease-associated signals to regulate the phenotype of these innate immune cells. The TREM2 signaling pathway has been implicated in
