Abstract
Three major phagocytic populations in the mouse were tested in vitro for killing of Candida albicans by means of 51Cr release assay: early inflammatory peritoneal polymorphonuclear cells (PMN), unfractionated or adherent spleen cells and resident peritoneal macrophages (PEC). Considerable candidacidal activity was found in the early inflammatory neutrophil and adherent spleen cell populations. On the contrary, only limited activity was found to be associated with resident peritoneal macrophages. The phagocytic killing apparently involved multiple mechanisms. Les trois principales populations de phagocytes de Souris ont été essayées in vitro pour la lyse de Candida albicans au moyen de la méthode de libération du 51Cr: ce sont les polynucléaires péritonéaux de l'inflammation précoce (PMN), les cellules spléniques entières ou adhérentes et les cellules résidentes de l'exsudat péritonéal (PEC). Une activité candidicide importante se trouve associée aux populations de neutrophiles de l'inflammation précoce et aux cellules spléniques adhérentes. Au contraire, les macrophages péritonéaux résidents ne montrent qu'une activité limitée. La destruction phagocytaire semble ainsi dépendre de mécanismes multiples.Keywords
