Endocytosis and Transport in Eucaryotic Cells.
Abstract
The investigations completed concern the following areas of research: (a) characterization of the glucose and amino acid transport systems of mouse and guinea pig macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. (b) enhancement of glucose transport by macrophages following a phagocytic stimulus or immunologic activation and attempts to define the mechanism responsible for the increased uptake of the sugar. (c) phagocytic and bactericidal activities of mouse peritoneal macrophages before and after activation by immunological and non-immunological means. (d) cell mediated immune phenomena associated with chronic staphylococcal infections of mice. (e) uptake (pinocytosis) of diphtheria toxin and its fragment A moiety by non-phagocytic and phagocytic cells. (f) interaction of diphtheria toxin with normal and transformed mammalian cells in culture.
