In vitro cytochemical and cytophysiological study of in vivo BCG-activated mouse peritoneal macrophages.
The morphological, cytochemical (acid phosphatase activity) and cytophysiological (phagocytosis) features of mouse peritoneal macrophages activated in vivo by BCG, were investigated in vitro. BCG induced an increase in cytochemical and phagocytic activities of the activated peritoneal macrophages.
