THE MECHANISMS BY WHICH MACROPHAGES PHAGOCYTE ENCAPSULATED BACTERIA IN THE ABSENCE OF ANTIBODY

William D. Sawyer M.D.1, Mary Ruth Smith 1, and W. Barry Wood Jr. M.D.1

1 From the Department of Medicine and the Oscar Johnson Institute for Medical Research, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis

Evidence has been presented: (1) that macrophages from experimentally produced inflammatory exudates are capable of phagocyting fully encapsulated Type I pneumococci and group A Friedländer's bacilli in the absence of antibody, (2) that the principal mechanisms involved are those of surface phagocytosis, and (3) that the majority of pneumococci ingested by macrophages in antibody-free preparations are ultimately destroyed.

The relationship of these phenomena to the mechanism of recovery in pneumococcal and Friedländer's bacillus infections has been briefly discussed.
