In this article there was estimated a priming effect of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae at the polymorphonuclear leukocytes by measuring luminal- and lucigenin amplified chemiluminescence of donors' blood. It was shown that bacterial antigens of both microorganisms stimulated oxidant functions of leukocytes.
Keywords: chemiluminescence, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, priming, bacterial antigens
