The paper is concerned with studies on generation of free radicals by donor leukocytes in plasma rich or poor in platelets. NBT test and chemiluminescence were employed. Platelets are shown to inhibit generation of free radicals. Changes in free radicals generation were studied under stimulation by zymosan and addition of washed platelet fraction. The conclusion is made that platelets inhibit leukocyte generation of free radicals by adsorption factors necessary for this process from plasma.
