Abstract

The effects of cis-Platinum, a new antitumor drug, on guinea pig polymorphonuclear functions related to subplasmalemmal fibrillar structures, were investigated. The compound markedly decreased chemotaxis. Zymosan particles engulfment and degranulation. The depression of these leucocyte activities adds to the already known drug induced myelotoxicity .
