Phagocytic activity of neutrophils and lymphocytes at various periods of storage in the state of cold anabiosis (-40°C)

Abstract

We studied changes in phagocytic activity of neutrophils and lymphocytes subjected to cold anabiosis. The proposed effective method for introduction of human blood leukocytes into cold anabiosis at moderately low temperature (-40 o C) in the presence of a cryopreserving agent does not require washout of the biological material after defrosting.

Attenuated phagocytic activity of monocytes in type 2 diabetic Goto–Kakizaki rats

“…1). Thus, although there have been some papers that have reported the phagocytic activity of lymphocytes (Koszewski et al 1957;Svedentsov et al 2004), our data is consistent with the present consensus (Brown 1991;Lee et al 2003;Underhill and Ozinsky 2002) that monocytes and neutrophils, but not lymphocytes, play central roles in the elimination of bacterial pathogens in vivo.…”
