Abstract excerpt
The avian inflammatory response to intraperitoneal (i.p.) Sephadex injection produces macrophages which display characteristics of an increasingly activated state over time. We examined elicited chicken peritoneal exudate cells (PECs) with respect to superoxide anion production, arachidonic acid...
