Lidocaine: effect on phagocytosis and purification of monocytes in bovine peripheral blood (original) (raw)

PubMed, 1980

Abstract

Enumeration of bovine monocytes was determined by latex ingestion, using live cell and fixed cell techniques. Approximately 7.33% of the mononuclear leukocytes were found to phagocytize latex particles by live-cell technique and approximately 7.38% of mononuclear leukocytes phagocytized latex particles by fixed-cell technique. Lidocaine (30 mM) significantly inhibited phagocytosis of latex particles; however, the effects of lidocaine can be reversible. Adherent monocytes can be removed with lidocaine treatment and can be enriched to as much as 90% pure monocytes. Removal of lidocaine was associated with a return to normal cell function.
