Abstract:
Heat shock treatment of murine macrophages and the J774 cell line resulted in an enhanced capacity to release superoxide anion (O2-) upon stimulation. There was no concomitant increase in hydrogen peroxide production, and the macrophage microbicidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium complex, and Staphylococcus aureus was not altered.
