Depressed phagocytic function exhibited by polymorphonuclear leucocytes from chronically iron deficient rabbits
British Journal of Haematology
|October 1, 1976
Abstract:
The production of chronic iron deficiency in rabbits was associated with impaired phagocytosis of opsonized Staphylococcus aureus by their polymorphonuclear leucocytes. These cells had a reduced ability to ingest the bacteria and the rate of ingestion could not be stimulated by autologous serum leucophilic gamma-globulin.
