Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
The ability of macrophages obtained from the peritoneal
cavity of mice to phagocyte Staphylococcus aureus was
inhibited by 0.5% MMA in the culture medium. Human
heparinised blood was incubated with concentrations of 0.5%,
1.25%, and 2.5% MMA for 15 min. The number of leucocytes
was reduced at a concentration of 2.5% MMA, no viable cells
were detected by the trypane blue method, at 1.25% the
number of viable leucocytes was reduced to about 50%.
Phagocytic polymorphonuclear neutrophils were damaged to a
greater extent than lymphocytes. Erythrocytes and platelets
were completely lysed at 2.5% MMA.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
