Abstract
A study on the interaction of different sera and polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) with reference to the ABO blood group system on the phagocytosis of a radiolabeled strain of E. coli is reported. Using untreated sera, O cells were the least sensitive and AB cells the most sensitive to reduction in phagocytic activity. No reduced phagocytic capability relative to the different sera used was observed when heat-inactivated sera were applied. Aspects of the results are discussed.
