Excerpt
Introduction: The protein components of macrophages treated with amosite asbestos were examined by twodimensional gel electrophoresis as described by OFarrell (I). The resulting complex patterns were analyzed by using computerized techniques (2). Because of its phagocytic activity, the macrophage is an essential part of the pulmonary defense inhaled particles. In the presence of asbestos particles macrophages have been reported to undergo a series of morphological (3) and biochemical (4) changes.
