Effect of In Vitro Cold Exposure on Phagocytic Activity of Human Peripheral Blood Neutrophils.

: Experiments on peripheral blood leukocytes from healthy donors using the biochemiluminescent method demonstrated the possibility of in vitro modulating phagocytic activity of neutrophils by cold exposure. Cold exposure at 2°C for 30 min increased phagocytic activity of cells, while slow cooling to -2°C reduced it.
