The Effect of Oxytetracycline on Leukocyte Migration into Inflammatory Exudate

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 29, pages 505–507 (1988)Cite this article

Abstract

The migration of leukocytes to sites of infec-tion and tissue injury is a primary defence mechanism. When localized at the infection site polymorphonuclear leucocytes phagocy-tose bacteria and other foreign particles. The leukocyte is also of interest as a source of inflammation mediators e.g. metabolites of arachidonic acid (Simmons et al 1983).
