RESUMO
Mycoplasma dispar and Mycoplasma agalactiae subsp. bovis survived or grew in cultures of bovine lacteal polymorphonuclear leukocytes or bovine alveolar macrophages. In the presence of specific bovine antibody, macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes appeared to kill both species of mycoplasma. Specific rabbit antisera also promoted the killing of these mycoplasmas by bovine macrophages but had no demonstrable activity for bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It is suggested that phagocytosis of these mycoplasmas by bovine cells occurs only in the presence of specific antibody. The experiments also indicate that differences exist between bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages with regard to their receptor sites for immunoglobulins.
