Abstract
Summary:The protective effect of nitrogen mustard‐induced neutropenia on the development of the GSR was studied. No coagulation defect was found in neutropenic rabbits and simultaneous administration of Thorotrast and endotoxin did not produce intravascular coagulation or renal cortical necrosis. Infusion of neutropenic rabbits with suspensions of viable granulocytes derived from peritoneal exudates reinduced susceptibility to both intravascular coagulation and renal cortical necrosis. It is concluded that the presence of granulocytes is essential for the production of intravascular coagulation by endotoxin.
