Neutrophil Uptake of Vaccinia Virus in Vitro

Abstract: We studied human neutrophils for uptake of vaccinia virus. Uptake was determined radiometrically and by electron microscopy. Vaccinia virus was labeled with 14C or 3H, incubated with neutrophils, and quantified in neutrophil pellets in a new radiometric phagocytosis assay. Better results were obtained from assays of [3H]thymidine-labeled virus; uptake increased through 1 hr and then plateaued. Phagocytosis of 3H-labeled Staphylococcus aureus was normal. Uptake of virus was serum dependent. Hexose monophosphate… Show more

“…In particular, depletion of alveolar macrophages increases Gr1(+) granulocytes and ER-MP20(+) cells, the latter of which are progenitors of granulocytes and monocytes. Prior studies performed predominantly in vitro show that monocytes/macrophages and potentially neutrophils have direct roles in controlling replication of vaccinia virus (Jones, 1982;Karupiah and Harris, 1995;West et al, 1987). However, our data show that the enhanced inflammatory response is associated with more severe disease, indicating that enhanced recruitment of these cells is detrimental to the host.…”

“…It is clear that inflammatory cells, once present in a lesion, have a number of properties which may potentially limit virus spread: (i) oxygen-dependent antimicrobial products, (ii) oxygen-independent antimicrobial products, (iii) phagocytosis mediated by Fc and complement C3b receptors followed by virucidal action, and (iv) secretion of interferons and lymphokines which attract additional cell populations. Neutrophils and macrophages can apparently destroy antibody-coated poxviruses following phagocytosis, but can also allow limited virus replication (30,41,137,246,404,432,506). In the absence of virus destruction, the phagocytic cell could actively enhance the dissemination of the virus, as proposed by Florman and Enders (170).…”

“…Vaccinia virus (VACV) induces activation and functional priming of neutrophils (6), which phagocytize and inactivate VACV by an antibody-dependent mechanism (7,8). Systemic myxoma virus infection induces neutrophil recruitment to the liver microvasculature, where adherent neutrophils form large aggregates with platelets, releasing neutrophil extracellular traps that help to prevent infection of adjacent cells (9).…”
