Enhancement of peritoneal macrophage activity by bovine gamma globulin in mice.
Mice treated with bovine gamma globulins showed an increased resistance to Salmonella typhimurium infection. This phenomenon seems to be bound to an increase of peritoneal macrophage phagocytic activity, as shown by the method of chemiluminescence, in experiments performed on peritoneal macrophages from mice treated with bovine gamma globulin.
