Abstract
Summary
Neutrophilic erythrophagocytes were produced in high percentages by sensitizing type A human red cells with anti-A isoagglutin in the presence of viable leucocytes. These erythrophagocytes were subject to mechanical trauma and found appreciably more fragile than neutrophiles which had not ingested red cells but which were treated in an identical manner. The possible significance of this decreased survival time is briefly discussed.
