Abstract
The impact of body temperature on the immune response is underestimated and little understood. This project is based on the unexpected observation that macrophages from rats exhibit higher microbicidal activity when incubated at a temperature corresponding to the regulated form of hypothermia (36.0°C) than those exposed to a temperature corresponding to fever (38, 5°C). On the other hand,…
The temperature negatively regulates the microbicidal activity of macrophages: why do they kill more in hypothermia?, BP.PD
