Abstract
Microtubules are demonstrable in mature human polymorphonuclear leukocytes, even after prolonged incubation in vitro. These organelles are not seen after treatment with colchicine, which has various functional effects on these cells but does not inhibit phagocytosis.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
