In the present study, the restoration of immunity is characterized by rise in DTH response, HA titer and percentage neutrophil adhesion,
phagocytic index and lymphoid organ weights in CP induced immunosuppressed rats.
For abalone fed graded levels of vitamin [K.sub.1], there were no significant effects of temperature, vitamin [K.sub.1] inclusion level, or interaction between the two factors for total hemocyte count (Table 5; P = 0.677, P = 0.418, and P = 0.159, respectively; twofactor ANOVA), phagocytic activity (P = 0.344, P = 0.904, and P = 0.311, respectively) and
phagocytic index (P = 0.507, P = 0.713, and P = 0.455, respectively) (Table 5).
In present study, macrophage engulfment percentage and
phagocytic index were studied.The effect of colchicine on macrophages was observed.
Caption: FIGURE 2: The
phagocytic index of M[PHI] is increased when in coculture with aortic mesenchymal progenitor cells, mAo.
In addition both doses showed increased significant value (P<0.05) in phagocytic activity and
phagocytic index than the groups treated with Tonolest(r) probiotic and the control group from the 2nd week till 8th week (Fig.

Previous data has shown that the bacterial LPS caused an increase in reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and their
phagocytic index production.
a statistically significant (p = 0.02 to 0.05) increase in
phagocytic index (1.43 [+ or -] 0.13 U) and the percentage of cells having performed phagocytosis (2.35 [+ or -] 0.41 U) compared to the physiological levels (1.1 [+ or -] 0.25 U and 1.75 [+ or -] 0.15 U) and the control group (1.1 [+ or -] 0.06 U and 1.85 [+ or -] 0.05 U), and to humoral immune dysfunction, 1.
As indicated in Table 4 and Figures 2-7, the percentage of phagocytosis and
phagocytic index were significantly (p<0.001) increased in EMF exposed mice for 30 days (Gp.
In addition to increasing the number of leukocytes, silver raises their "
phagocytic index"--the cells' ability to kill and digest pathogens by boosting the cells' production of hydrogen peroxide.
