## Abstract Two strains of __Legionella pneumophila__ of different virulence were examined for their influence on the metabolic oxidative activity of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The leukocytes exhibited decreased rates of oxygen consumption and diminished chemiluminescence activity followin
Prostaglandins and thromboxanes (Txs) are produced by polymorphonuclears (PMNs) and macrophages (Mphis) in response to various stimuli. PMNs were separated from other human blood cells and Mphis were separated from rat peritoneal lavage. In this paper we show that human recombinant interleukin-1 (hr
