title: [Effect of carrageenan, galactose and 2,4-dinitrophenol on leukocyte phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli].
abstract: The influence of carrageenan (0.1, 0.05 and 0.01%), galactose (1 X 10(-1), 1 X 10(-2) and 5 X 10(-2) mol/l) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (5 X 10(-4), 1 X 10(-4), 5 X 10(-5) and 1 X 10(-5) mol/l) on the phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus SG 511 and E. coli 04/K31 by polymorphonuclear neutrophil granulocytes was studied. At the same time the capacity of the germs to grow and multiply in presence of different concentrations of the analysed compounds was tested. The phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus SG 511 was not inhibited by carrageenan, galactose and 2,4-dinitrophenol, but an influence on the phagocytosis of E. coli 04/K31 could be clearly demonstrated (0.1 and 0.05% carrageenan, 1 X 10(-1) mol/l galactose, 5 X 10(-4) and 1 X 10(-4) mol/l 2,4-dinitrophenol). The multiplication of Staphylococci and E. coli was not influenced by all three compounds.
