Leukocyte polymorphonuclear

Eosinophils develop in the bone marrow where they also mature. They are then released into the blood followed by their migration into the tissue spaces. Eosinophils comprise 1-5% of blood leukocytes in nonatopic individuals. They are present in thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, uterus and lower GI tract. Under normal conditions, they are not present in the skin, lungs or esophagus. They can live up to 72 h in the tissue. Their migration to the site of inflammation or parasitic infection is directed by leukotriene B4 and chemokines eotaxin (CCL11) and RANTES (CCL5). They 

Eosinophils are attracted by proteins released by T cells, mast cells and basophils [eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis (ECF-A)]. They bind schistosomulae coated with IgG or IgE, degranulate and release major basic protein, which is toxic. Eosinophils also release histaminase and aryl sulfatase, which inactivates histamine and Slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A). This results in antiinflammatory effects and inhibits migration of granulocytes to the site of injury.

After insertion of an lUD, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages accumulate in the uterine cavity. These cells appear to phagocytize sperm and Hberate a blastotoxic toxin (92,93). Intrauterine devices also may create a hostile environment, perhaps because antibodies are produced that interfere with implantation of the fertilized ovum (93).

Mice that are homozygous for a disrupted Bx or B2 receptor gene are healthy, fertile and normotensive. In Bx-deficient mice, bacterial lipopolysaccharide-induced hypotension is diminished and the recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes to the sites of tissue injury is impaired, and the animals show signs of hypoalgesia. Deletion of the B2 gene in mice leads to salt-sensitive hypertension and altered nociception.

Liver, the major site of purine nucleotide biosynthesis, provides purines and purine nucleosides for salvage and utilization by tissues incapable of their biosynthesis. For example, human brain has a low level of PRPP amidotransferase (reaction 2, Figure 34-2) and hence depends in part on exogenous purines. Erythrocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes cannot synthesize 5-phosphoribosylamine (strucmre III, Figure 34-2)...
