Abstract:
Peritoneal macrophages from two strains of mice, BALB/c and C3H/HeN, were analysed by flow cytometry for a respiratory burst associated with the phagocytosis of Ehrlichia risticii. Resident murine peritoneal macrophages failed to respond with a respiratory burst after phagocytosing E risticii. In contrast, mice previously infected with E risticii yielded peritoneal macrophages that did generate a respiratory burst on phagocytosing ehrlichiae.
