The chemiluminescence of rabbit alveolar macrophages induced by quartz dust particles
Immunology Letters
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
Quartz dust particles (respirable fraction) triggered luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) when added to unstimulated rabbit alveolar macrophages (AM). It was shown by increasing the dust dose added to the same amount of cells, and conversely, that the intensity of chemiluminescent reaction depended on the ratio cells:dust particles. The ratio giving maximum CL yield was estimated.
