Abstract

Neutrophils, serum opsonins and staphylococci were incubated at 37° C with continuous end‐over‐end rotation. The observed frequency of neutrophils with 0, 1, 2… staphylococci deviated systematically from that expected for a Poisson distribution. This suggests marked differences in phagocytosis/adherence between the neutrophils, indicating different neutrophil populations.
