Untersuchungen über den Einfluß von Cortison und ACTH auf die Phagozytose der Leukozyten und Makrophagen

Abstract
In vitro studies on man and rabbits showed no effect on phagocytosis. When rabbits were injd. with these agents, especially after repeated injns., macrophages from the pleura showed slightly less than normal phagocytic activity when tested in vitro on Staphylococcus aureus. It is suggested that the effect may be due in part to decreased macrophage production.
