Metabolic and Morphological Observations on the Effect of Surface-active Agents on Leukocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Morphological and metabolic observations have been made on the effects of endotoxin, deoxycholate, and digitonin (at less than 50 microg/ml) on polymorphonuclear leukocytes and mononuclear cells. The agents stimulate the respiration and glucose oxidation of these cells in a manner similar to that seen during phagocytosis. Electron microscopy revealed no morphological changes with the first two agents, but dramatic membrane changes were seen in the case of digitonin. Here tubular projections of characteristic size and shape formed on and split off the membrane. All the agents stimulated uptake of inulin, but efforts to demonstrate increased pinocytosis by electron microscopy have not so far succeeded, probably due to limitations in present experimental techniques.
