ABSTRACT
Human peritoneal macrophages (M phi) were given intravenously to normal rabbits and rabbits with Escherichia coli septicaemia. No harmful effects were observed during a period of three months following macrophage transfusions and the septicaemia was eradicated in four of five animals. Thus xenogeneic M phi transfusion is feasible and can combat serious bacterial infections.
