The Role of Polymorphonuclear Leucocytes in Protecting Mice Vaccinated Against Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infections

PMCID: PMC2072443  PMID: 4199239

Abstract

In the presence of serum from normal unvaccinated mice polymorphonuclear leucocytes taken from mice 1, 2, 3 and 4 days after one injection of a pseudomonas vaccine phagocytosed progressively more bacteria on each successive day. More bacteria were phagocytosed by polymorphs from vaccinated mice in serum taken 3, 4 or 7 days after vaccination than in serum taken earlier.

Polymorphs from vaccinated mice ingested more of the strains of bacteria against which vaccinated mice were protected than other pseudomonas strains.
