The Role of Phagocytosis in the Production of Endogenous Pyrogen by Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 73))

Abstract

In 1948 Beeson (3) reported that granulocytes contain an endogenous pyrogen, which was later (4,5) shown to differ from the pyrogenic endotoxin of gram negative bacteria. Considerable work on the pathogenesis of fever by several investigators eventually yielded an experimental model for it (Fig. 1).
