title: Phagocytosis of 32P-labelled E. coli by human polymorphonuclear cells (PMN). Adaptation of a method.
abstract: A system for the study of phagocytosis by human polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) is presented. The leucocytes are harvested from heparinized whole blood by the Bøyum method and transferred to glass tubes to yield glass adherent monolayers of leucocytes, approximately 80% of which were PMN. A strain of E. coli labelled by 32P served as test organism.
