Abstract
A comparison was made of the in-vitro phagocytic and bactericidal activities of mouse macrophages derived from the peritoneal cavity and from the lung. Both cell types were active, but peritoneal macrophages were superior, especially in their bactericidal ability. The two cell types also showed morphological differences when cultured on glass surfaces. The results are compared with those of similar studies of macrophages derived from other animal species.
