Abstract：
:The influence of heparin on Polymorphonuclear (PMN s) leukocytes was investigated using a new whole-blood cytofluorometric method (patent granted for the test with the number P 4334935.8-41) with Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus as test microorganisms. After comparing the effect of equal volumes of two widely used heparins we examined the influence of 5 different heparin-concentrations. Using both yeasts and bacteria, we found a significant, dose-depending decrease of the percentage of phagocyting PMN's and of phagocytized microorganisms as well as of the resulting percentage of PMN s producing respiratory burst along the kinetics. Furthermore we could demonstrate that heparin independently of phagocytosis produces a dose-dependent decrease of burst production of PMN's. Our results indicate that the use of heparins as anticoagulant for immunological investigations as well as clinically with patients under immunosuppressive therapy should be critically reconsidered. This applies even more because due to the evaluated dose-dependent decrease of phagocyte function no boundary for the inhibiting effect can be declared.
