Data from our in vitro and in vivo experiments have suggested that 1) alveolar macrophages and neutrophils phagocytose influenza virus-infected cells in an apoptosis-dependent manner; 2) the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylserine and viral neuraminidase-processed carbohydrates at the surface of target cells and phagocytes, respectively, are involved in the association of the two types of cells; and 3) phagocytic elimination of virus-infected cells leads to a reduction in the pathogenesis of influenza. These findings could lead to the development of a novel antiviral agent against influenza. © 2008 Bentham Science Publishers Ltd.全文公開200906, 金沢大学医薬保健研究域薬学系}, pages = {97--100}, title = {Mechanisms and consequences of phagocytosis on influenza virus-infected cells}, volume = {7}, year = {2008} }
