Abstract
Exposure of human leukocytes to 12% and 6% O-2 in vitro resulted in strikin g ultrastructural and morphological changes. These changes included the app earance of crater-like holes, a reduction in granular size and disruption o f the cellular membrane. The implications of these findings is discussed.
