Research Abstract |
Neutrophils undergo constitutive death by apoptosis, leading to safe nonphlogistic phagocytosis and clearance by macrophages. I clarified next points in this research. 1)The fucose residues which bind the lactosamine structure were disappears with the induction of the potosis. The sialic acid residures which bind with nonreducing end of glycoprotein sugar chain were released by activating sialidase. 2)That galactose residures were exposed by releasing the sialic acid of the nonreduction end. 3)The macrophage protein (the lectin molecule) recognized this exposed galactose residuesof the apoptotic cells. 3) It was recognized that the other recognition mechanism of the apoptotic cells. The phosphatidylserine which was a kind of the phospholipid in the inner cell membrane peculiarly appeared in the outer cell membrane in the apoptotic induction.
