Pertussis toxin partially inhibits phagocytosis of immunoglobulin G-opsonized Staphylococcus aureus by human granulocytes but does not affect intracellular killing.

The aim of the present study was to determine whether pertussis toxin (PT)-sensitive GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved in the signal transduction pathway(s) used for phagocytosis and intracellular killing of bacteria by human granulocytes. Treatment of granulocytes with PT resulted in d...
