Abstract
Summary
A comparative histochemical study of the endotoxin induced fibrinolytic activity in suspensions of leukocytes from man, baboon, dog and rabbit is reported. Apart from quantitative differences, leukocytes from the animal species behaved as human leukocytes. The number of fibrinolytic cells normally present increased following exposure to endotoxin and approached that of the neutrophils. Cell viability was not affected. Attention is drawn to certain critical aspects of methodology.
