Adherent peritonealexudate cells rich in macrophages were harvested from Cornell K-strain chickens 42 hr after i.p.
2
Simultaneously, indirect immunity represented by decreased phagocytosis and enhanced metabolic function of reducing NBT by peritonealexudate cells was observed.
3
The peritonealexudate cells responded with enhancement of leukocyte migration, reaching significant values between 6 and 24 weeks after injection.
4
Serum TNF levels and the cellular composition of peritonealexudates have also been assessed.
5
The proportion of OX19-positive T cell subpopulations are the same in peritonealexudates from all groups.
