<meta name="description" content="This document describes a protocol for evaluation of nanoparticle internalization by phagocytic cells, where the foreign substances are isolated via a cell membrane enclosure and degraded by the phagolysosome. Phagocytosis is a receptor mediated endocytosis specific to the phagocytic cells, e.g. cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS). Phagocytosis is an active process and requires actin polymerization. There are four main receptors which mediate phagocytic uptake. Phagocytosis via three of these receptors (complement receptor (CR), Fc&gamma;R receptor, and mannose receptor (MR)) is accompanied by inflammatory reactions (cytokine secretion). Phagocytosis via the fourth receptor (scavenger receptor (SR)) is not accompanied by inflammatory responses [1&ndash;5].">

Introduction</h2><p>This document describes a protocol for evaluation of nanoparticle internalization by phagocytic cells, where the foreign substances are isolated via a cell membrane enclosure and degraded by the phagolysosome. Phagocytosis is a receptor mediated endocytosis specific to the phagocytic cells, e.g. cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS). Phagocytosis is an active process and requires actin polymerization. There are four main receptors which mediate phagocytic uptake. Phagocytosis via three of these receptors (complement receptor (CR), Fc&#x003b3;R receptor, and mannose receptor (MR)) is accompanied by inflammatory reactions (cytokine secretion). Phagocytosis via the fourth receptor (scavenger receptor (SR)) is not accompanied by inflammatory responses [<a class="bibr" href="#ncipr48.ref1" rid="ncipr48.ref1">1</a>&#x02013;<a class="bibr" href="#ncipr48.ref5" rid="ncipr48.ref5">5</a>].</p></div><div id="ncipr48.s2"><h2 id="_ncipr48_s2_">2. Principles and Limitation</h2><p>This assay utilizes a luminescent-based approach in which nanoparticles are incubated with HL-60 promyelocytic cells, and the phagocytic activity is visualized with luminol. Luminol is a dye which is not luminescent unless exposed to the low pH of the phagolysosome.</p><p>This protocol may not be applicable for certain types of nanomaterials. For example, nanoparticles with fluorescent capabilities such as quantum dots may be studied using confocal microscopy or flow cytometry. Modification(s) of the current procedure and/or changes in detection dye may be required for particles that demonstrate interference with luminol-dependent chemiluminescence.</p></div><div id="ncipr48.s3"><h2 id="_ncipr48_s3_">3.

Blood volume constitutes approximately 8% of the body weight. Therefore, an average human of 70 kg body weight has approximately 5.6 L of blood. Assuming all the nanoparticle injected goes into the systemic circulation, this provides a rough approximation of the potential maximum nanoparticle concentration in blood, which is used as the in vitro test concentration.</p><div class="pmc_disp_formula whole_rhythm clearfix" id="ncipr48.deq2"><div class="inline_block pmc_inline_block pmc_va_middle pmc_hide_overflow twelve_col">
