title: [Modification of chromatin condensation in cultured macrophages during induction of cell division by an inflammatory exudate].
abstract: The determination of chromatin condensation in rat peritoneal macrophages in culture showed a predominance of heterochromatin with low transcriptory activity. After induction of division in rat peritoneal macrophages in culture by an acute inflammatory exudate, a decrease of heterochromatin and an increase of euchromatin were observed. This result brings further evidence to support previous observations according to which this type of exudate shows mitogenic properties.
