Popis: International audience; Intravenous injection of trypsin in the rat induces early lung leucostasis and emphysema of delayed onset. This report confirms that this emphysema is not rat-specific and that the leucostasis is not related to the presence of contaminating endotoxin in the trypsin. In hamsters (n=37), leucostasis did not occur when they were injected with heat-treated trypsin, but numerous granulocytes were sequestered in the vessels of hamsters receiving a fresh solution of trypsin. In these hamsters, the number of granulocytes harvested by lavage increased significantly (1-87 x 10⁶ per ml, .P
