Abstract
Neutrophils of the heparinized whole blood from 46 normal dogs aged 1 to 6 years were tested for phagocytic function of latex by incubating the mixtures of blood neutrophils and latex beads (1: 100 to 1: 200 in number) at 37°C for 40min. The percentage of neutrophils ingesting latex was 49.5±9.6%.
