Maximal rates of 0 ; and H,02 production by human bloodstream monocytes activated during the respiratory burst by phorbol ester were only about 10% of those of neutrophils. Furthermore, monocytes possess only about 5% of the myeloperoxidase activity of neutrophils and so can only produce l o w level
## 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
