Enhancement of granulocyte phagocytosis by products of PPD stimulated human lymphocytes.
The effect of supernatant fluids from cultures of stimulated human lymphocytes on the phagocytic activity of human neutrophilic granulocytes was investigated. It was found that lymphocytes of tuberculin (PPD) positive donors after in vitro stimulation with PPD produced factors that significantly increased granulocyte phagocytosis of latex particles.
