A new micro-method for the quantitative measurement of phagocytosis by neutrophils is described. The material used for phagocytosis consists of a radioactive oil emulsion coated with E. coli lipopolysaccharide. Uptake of radioactive material is a function of cell number, duration of incubation, dilution of serum used for opsonization, content of lipopolysaccharide and concentration of emulsion. This method can be used to quantify rapidly and precisely phagocytosis rates of as few as 5 x 10(4)-10(6) polymorphonuclear leucocytes and the opsonic activity of 10 microliter serum.
本文描述了一种用于定量测量中性粒细胞吞噬作用的新微方法。用于吞噬作用的物质是一种涂有大肠杆菌脂多糖的放射性油乳剂。放射性物质的摄取是细胞数量、孵育时间、用于调理素化的血清稀释度、脂多糖含量和乳剂浓度的函数。该方法可快速、精确地量化低至5×10⁴ - 10⁶个多形核白细胞的吞噬率以及10微升血清的调理活性。
