Abstract
Regular changes in the activity of acid and alkaline phosphatases and myeloperoxidase and in the glycogen concentration together with a decrease in phagocytic activity of the microphages (pseudoeosinophilic leukocytes) were found in rabbits with allergic arthritis. The observed changes were perhaps linked with the development of degenerative changes in the microphages following contact between these cells and antigen. The development of experimental allergic arthritis was shown to be accompanied by dysfunction of the microphages, with a consequent decrease in the protective properties of these cells.
