[The chemiluminescence reactions of the blood neutrophils and of peritoneal exudate cells in Syrian hamsters to the intraperitoneal administration of cellular and microbial materials].

The luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) activity of peritoneal exudate cells and blood neutrophils of Syrian hamsters inoculated intraperitoneally with heat-inactivated microbial particles of Candida albicans, (C. albicans), heated irradiated normal cells and native or heated irradiated malignant tumor cells was studied. The inoculation with particles of C. albicans and heated normal cells induced significant activation of CL of peritoneal exudate cells, but did not influence the CL reaction of blood neutrophils. The inoculation of animals with nonheated irradiated tumor cells led to increase of CL response of both peritoneal exudate cells and blood neutrophils. The inoculation with heated irradiated tumor cells did not activate CL of peritoneal exudate cells and led to slight, but long-lasting decrease of CL response of blood neutrophils.
