In experiments on dogs using the chemiluminescent method and nitroblue-tetrazole reaction the authors found out that leucocytes while passing through the pulmonary vessels bed, in contrast to the spleen increase the generation of active microbicidal forms of oxygen. Due to this fact we suppose that the lungs may take part in the formation of free radical status and phagocytic antiinfectious defence of the organism.
