Abstract

In recent studies on cefodizime, it may potentially have the capability of stimulating chemotactic activity of neutrophils and monocytes as well as the strong immuno-modulator. In turn, infection can result in a drastic change of mediators. which lead to initiate an immune response in an indirect way. With this backgrounds, we have studied to see if cefodizime can be a potential substance to induce an immunological function in dendritic cells and peritoneal macrophages. (omitted)
