Phagocytic Activity of Neutrophils in Tularemia in Animals with Varying Infectious Sensitivity

Abstract

A study was made of the ingestive capacity of blood neutrophils; there were revealed no significant differences in the intact animals with a different infectious sensitivity to tularemia. With the development of infection the ingestive activity of leukocytes increased in the infected highly sensitive animals, but the digestive function was not manifest. In albino rats (with a low sensitivity to tularemia) the disease induced an intensification of the ingestive and the manifestation of the digestive function of neutrophils dynamically developing together with the specific immunity reactions.
