Abstract
The primary immunologic defense mechanism in man, as well as other vertebrates and invertebrates, is clearly phagocytosis. This fact is demonstrated by the rapidly fatal course which results when phagocytes are absent or severely depleted. In contrast, the absence of lymphocytes can be tolerated in man over a period of months or even years.
