Abstract
Intact mononuclear leucocytes from peritoneal exudates of normal, genetically resistant, and susceptible rabbits were compared for their ability to metabolize certain substrates. Cells of resistant animals are more able to metabolic certain substrates than the same cells of susceptible animals and the natively resistant animals respond to certain stimuli with fewer cells than does the susceptible animal.
