Experiments on the Bactericide Influence of the Animal Body
Abstract
The objective of this research was to establish whether the phagocytes really take up live bacilli and whether they alone were capable of destroying bacilli. It was found that the uptake into cells was limited only to a certain fraction of bacilli, while on the other hand another fraction was destroyed without contact with the cells, through some other influences exerted in the live body, and therefore the functional significance of phagocytes must become a matter of doubt and it is indeed possible that they are only capable of taking up bacilli that are already degenerated as a result of some other influences.
