Chicken peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) were induced by Sephadex G-50 injection and were used for studying their in vitro phagocytic activity towards sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and Salmonella gallinarum. The peritoneal macrophages were phagocytic to opsonised as well as to non-opsonised SRBC or S. gallinarum. The recognition and phagocytosis depended on time of exposure as well as the intensity of ligand molecules on the surface of phagocytic particles but was independent of the age of macrophage culture.
