Summary
As shown experimentally (in vitro), exclusion of respiratory phosphorylation in the leucocytes considerably reduces their phagocytic activity. Addition of ATP to the medium results in restoration of this function. The addition of ATP to the medium in a concentration not under 1:10−4 tends to depress phagocytosis, if leucocyte metabolism remains intact.
