Abstract
In an in vitro system containing no neutralizing antibody, "immune" rabbit macrophages remove T1 phage [Escherichia coli]from the system more rapidly than do "non-immune" macrophages. The clearance of T1 phage from the in vitro system occurs in 2 phases, similar to those occurring in vivo. The results of the in vitro studies substantiate those of the in vivo studies.
