Abstract
In order to verify possible 'in vitro' metal-cell interactions, different experimental methods have been developed and applied on cells of the immune system. Lymphocytes and granulocytes from human peripheral blood were tested after contact with metal powder in suspension or metal extracts. Lymphocyte transformation test showed that molybdenum, cobalt and nickel can inhibit the proliferation of lymphocytes, even at low concentrations. Granulocyte polarization assay showed that chemokinetic activity of such cells is depending on both the extracted metal and the vehicle of extraction.
