Abstract
Summary Under conditions in which ingestion of labeled bacteria by PMN is accomplished within 10 min, oxygen consumption continues to increase in a linear fashion up to 20 min, while the HMS increase continues for at least 30 min. These results support a mechanism in which the O2 increase precedes the HMS activation. The authors thank Mrs. Pam Shirley and Mrs. Cindy Shannon for their excellent technical assistance.Keywords
