Summary
The author studied the phagocytosis of red cells in chick embryos after 52 hours of incubation by the phagocytes of adult chickens. Experiments were conducted in vivo on the developing chick embryo to which fowl leukocytes were added, as well as in vitro, by mixing the red cells obtained from the embryo with the fowl leukocytes. The experiments demonstrated that fowl phagocytes behave with chick embryo red cells as with foreign cells, by effecting the initial stages of phagocytosis.
