Opsonophagocytosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa treated with antiflagellar serum.
Hyperimmune rabbit flagellar antisera were shown to enhance opsonophagocytosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by mouse peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes. This response was specific for flagellar immunoglobulin G as indicated by cross-opsonization experiments.
