Abstract excerpt
The chemotactic, phagocytic, and candidacidal activities of peritoneal exudate macrophages from immunocompetent heterozygous (bg/+) and immunodeficient homozygous (bg/bg, bg/bg-nu/+, and bg/bg-nu/nu) beige mice were assessed. Overall, macrophages from all strains of mice tested not only were able...
