[Relation between immune and inflammatory reactions].
Lung inflammation in Wistar rats was induced by transthoracic inoculation of live and inactivated cultures of Staphylococcus aureus P209. In the former case the rats received phitohemagglutinin and cyclophosphane. A specific nature of inflammatory processes in these conditions was confirmed by histological, histo-cytochemical and bacterioscopic indexes; humoral and cellular immune responses being similar. The data show no direct correlation between inflammatory and immune reactions.
