Abstract:
:Studies in vitro of human macrophage function in health and disease have been impeded by the difficulty of obtaining such cells in sufficient number. Unlike animal species, the only readily available source of human macrophages are circulating monocytes. Herein, a method is described whereby the phagocytic rate of small numbers of glass-adherent mononuclear cells can be accurately measured. The method utilizes the ingestion by macrophages of technetium labelled polystyrene particles; both the radiolabel and ingestible substrate are readily available and the labelling process simple and efficient. The phagocytic rate can be expressed as radioactive counts per microgram of cell protein; data is also presented showing that the number of particles ingested per cell can be accurately derived.
