Abstract
An inflammatory reaction induced by the s.c. injection of talc embedded in a gel of calcium phosphate increased resistance of mice challenged i.v. Candida albicans. The relationship between the absolute number of polymorphonuclear phagocytes in the blood and this protective effect seemed to indicate a major role of polymorphonuclear leukocytes following inflammation.
