A feasibility study to determine if microbicidal activity can be measured in dexamethasone-treated macrophage
Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Dexamethasone action severely limits the ingestion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in cultures of murine peritoneal macrophages. In spite of this inhibitory response, numbers of viable yeasts sufficient for microbicidal studies can be recovered shortly after their limited ingestion from lysed steroid-treated phagocytes.
