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 radiolabelled strain of E. coli is reported. Using untreated sera, O cells were found to be 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 these results are discussed.
