The ability of granulocytes to engulf latex particles and Staphylococcus aureus in healthy children of parents with atopic asthma.
The test of engulfing of neutral latex particles and Staphylococcus aureus by peripheral blood granulocytes was carried out in 37 healthy children who had at least one parent with asthma and in 14 children, both of whose parents had asthma. A defect of engulfing neutral latex particles and S. aureus by granulocytes was demonstrated in children who had both parents with asthma.
