title: Phagocytosis of colloidal carbon after administration of perfluorochemicals of first and second generation.
abstract: By means of colloidal carbon clearance loading of cells of the reticulo-endothelial system (RES) in rats was estimated after administration of perfluorochemicals. Perfluorocylbromid revealed a significant lower depression of RES function than an equally dosed (g/kg b.wt.) mixture of perfluorodecalin and perfluorotripropylamine. Compared with a magnetometrical measurement of liver macrophage activity, shorter periods of cell loading was determined.
