Popis: In 1948 Beeson (3) reported that granulocytes contain an endogenous pyrogen, which was later (4,5) shown to differ from the pyrogenic endotoxin of gram negative bacteria. Considerable work on the pathogenesis of fever by several investigators eventually yielded an experimental model for it (Fig. 1).
