The factors influencing the rat whole blood chemiluminescence (CL): concentrations of blood, luminol, zymosan or opsonized zymosan, volume of the reaction mixture, storage time of blood samples and the presence of anticoagulants were evaluated. The CL micromethod described provides a fast and sensitive tool for the determination of metabolic activity of phagocytes in the microlitre range of rat whole blood.
