Chemiluminescence of leukocytes in the whole blood stimulated by barium sulfate crystals

: Luminol dependent stimulated by barium sulfate crystals chemiluminescence of leukocytes in the whole blood was studied. Chemiluminescent kinetics and dependence between the chemiluminescence intensity and temperature were investigated. The chemiluminescence is related to the formation of reactive oxygen by stimulated leukocytes which settled to the bottom of the cell together with the crystals of barium sulfate.
