[Macrophages and phagocytosis-functional tests].
A review is given, dealing with the different biological properties of various macrophages. Special interest deserve in this context the membrane receptors of these cells, especially receptors as lectins and receptors for lectins. In this connection new phagocytosis-tests by using incomplete Rh-antibodies and neuraminidase-treated sheep red cells are presented and discussed with respect to their clinical significance, because of their simple technique. Trasylol inhibits the macrophage-mediated phagocytosis.
