title: [Effects of dimethylformamide on the monocytophagocytic system of rodents].
abstract: The effects of Dimethylformamide (DMF) on monocytophagocytic system (MPS) of rodents were studied. The results showed large dose of DMF (1/20 LD50) with oral administration could significantly inhibit the functions of colloidal carbon clearance of MPS in Wistar rats, and of non-specific phagocytosis of sheep red blood cells (SRBC) by peritoneal macrophage in Kunming mice, and could also lowered significantly the levels of Fc and C3b receptors on the surface of peritoneal macrophage in mice. This showed DMF could cause obvious damage to MPS.
