An in vitro system of prolonged culture of Leishmania tropica amasΓΌgotes in mouse macrophages is presented. The division rate of parasites was monitored by microscopic observations and by 3H-thymidine incorporation. The dynamics of macrophage infection and parasite division are influenced by the ini

## Abstract Normal and stimulated macrophage populations induced by six different stimuli were tested for their IgG and complement (C)βmediated phagocytic capacity. A similar phagocytic capacity for sheep red cells (E) coated with IgG was exhibited by normal and stimulated macrophage populations wi
## Abstract A unique subpopulation of macrophages (MΞ¦) was identified among the spleen and bone marrow MΞ¦ of normal mice. After 24 h of culture, approximately 2.5% of the adherent cells cluster into βfociβ of 10β30 cells. On the basis of their phagocytic and morphologic characteristics, these focus
