β¦ Synopsis
We measured the chemiluminescence (CL) of human neutrophils (PMNLs) exposed to different concentrations of ofloxacin (2, 4, and 6pg/ml) readily achievable in therapy. CL reaction during zymosan phagocytosis by PMNLs obtained from human healthy volunteers was registered in a computer-linked LKB 1251 luminometer. Ofloxacin did not induce significant variations on the respiratory burst of PMNLs.
