title: Microoorganisms labeled with 14C for measurement of phagocytosis.
abstract: An isotopic method for determination of phagocytic activity is presented. The method of labeling of Staphylococcus aureus 519 with 14C is described. Effects of various parameters (e.g. time of incubation, serum dilution, number of phagocytes and bacteria used in the test on phagocytosis were studied. The effect of tuftsin and its lysine analogue on phagocytes is also described.
