Summary

POLYMORPHONUCLEAR NEUTROPHILIS (PMNS) STORED AT 277 K (4 C) WELL RETAINED ALL FUNCTIONS EXAMINED DURING 3 DAYS OF STORAGE. HOWEVER, PMNS STORED FOR 1 WEEK SHOWED A MARKED DECREASE IN BOTH CHEMOTACTIC MIGRATION AND STIMULATED CYANIDE-INSENSITIVE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION, WHILE ADHESION, PHAGOCYTOSIS, AND DYE EXCLUSION ABILITY WERE WELL MAINTAINED. ADDITION OF ATP OR ALBUMIN OF THE PMN SUSPENSION DID NOT PRODUCE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN THE MAINTENANCE OF THESE FUNCTIONS.
