Effect of temperature on phagocytosis by human polymorphonuclear neutrophils.
Monolayers of human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear neutrophils and 14C-labeled Staphylococcus aureus were incubated at various temperatures. The rate and extent of phagocytosis was unchanged between 33 and 41 C but was depressed above and below this range
