Adapted Microassay for Phagocytic Ability of Human Blood Monocytes

The aim of this study was to obtain a pure monocyte population and to examine the phagocytic and bactericidic ability of these cells by using our micromethod for in-vitro assay. We worked out a relatively simple method for examination of the phagocytic ability of monocytes including production of pure monocytes, its adhesion on coverslips and cultivation with autologous or AB-serum and test-bacteria in microcamera constructed by us
