A QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF THE KINETICS OF BLOOD CLEARANCE OF P32-LABELLED ESCHERICHIA COLI AND STAPHYLOCOCCI BY THE RETICULO-ENDOTHELIAL SYSTEM

Abstract
1. The clearance of P32-labelled heat-killed E. coli and staphylococci from the blood follows an exponential function of the time, and the bacteria are phagocytized principally by the RES of the liver and spleen.
