Abstract:
Oxygen consumption was compared during phagocytosis of killed S. aureus by peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PNL) from conventional mice and C57BL/6 mice free of pathogenic agents. The rate of oxygen consumption by PNL during phagocytosis was 3 times higher in conventional mice than in C57BL/6 mice free of pathogenic agents. The latter mice can be used as a suitable model for studying diverse effects on the most important component of the bactericidal mechanism of PNL.
