Abstract
H2O2 released from activated leukocytes kills bacteria and tumor cells. However, adjacent cells (endothelial cells and blood cells) also may serve as a targets for H2 O2 which may kill these cells or change their functions [1]. In the present work we have studied some functional chariges induced by H2O2 in human endothelial cells, platelets and neutrophils.
