Résumé

Les dimensions et la masse sèche de macrophages normaux et activés ont été mesurées en utilisant le «Vickers M86 scanning interferometer and integrating microdensimeter». Une analyse statistique a montré un rapport positif entre les deux paramètres descriptifs, ce qui infirme une suggestion précédente selon laquelle une augmentation des dimensions d'un macrophage est accompagnée d'une perte de densité cytoplasmique.
