PHAGOCYTIC ACTIVITY AND RESPIRATORY BURST<br />
OF LEUKOCYTES<br />
The assay evaluates phagocytic activity and<br />
respiratory burst of polymorphonuclear<br />
neutrophils neutrophil / monocytes monocyte exposed to the test<br />
compound in vitro.<br />
Principle of the assay<br />
� Heparinised whole blood is incubated with the FITC-labelled<br />
Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and hydroxyethidine<br />
�� Overall verall percentage of neutrophils and monocytes showing<br />
phagocytosis in general (ingestion of one or more bacteria per cell) and<br />
oxidative burst activity was measured in triplicates for each variable
