The effect of various strains of influenza virus on polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMNL) function were studied by chemiluminescence (CL) and bacterial killing assays. All virus strains induced PMNL CL and peak CL correlated with haemagglutination (HA) but not neuraminidase (NA) activity of virus pools
To ensure effective antimicrobial or tumouricidal function, phagocytic cells must maintain their cytoplasmic pH (pHt) at a level conducive to optimal intracellular enzyme activity. The mechanisms by which neutrophils and macrophages regulate their cytoplasmic pH include bicarbonate-independent ion t
