Abstract
Various indices of function of neutrophils from normal healthy volunteers were examined after in vitro exposure to halothane. Random free movement on glass was unaffected, but random migration through millipore filters was slightly increased. There was no significant change in migration in response to casein chemotaxis. Phagocytosis, degranulation and the enhanced non-mitochondrial respiration associated with phagocytosis were unaffected. EM appearance at 30 s after exposure to latex particles was normal in all respects.
