title: [Effect of redox-modified fibrinogen on blood leukocyte functions].
abstract: The influence of oxidized fibrinogen on the intensity of luminol-dependent chemilumin escence of blood leukocytes, stimulated by opsonized zymosan was studied. It was shown that the introduction of fibrinogen modified by UV-irradiation in to a suspension of cells resulted in a significant increase in the intensity of the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of leukocytes. It was suggested that oxidized fibrinogen can influence blood leukocytes, enhancing their functional activity.
