This study was designed to examine the role of splenectomy and autotransplantation with regard to the leukocyte/differential cell counts and the function of peripheral blood phagocytes. Eleven groups of 40 Wistar male rats in each group either underwent total splenectomies or sham operations. The splenectomized groups underwent autotransplantations with 10% through 90% of the weight of the intact spleen. The leukocyte count and the oxidative burst response of the blood leukocytes were measured in each group. It was shown that a total splenectomy did not alter the leukocyte/differential cell counts. Furthermore, the blood picture remained basically unchanged after an autotransplantation with 10% through 90% of the weight of the intact spleen. The phagocyte oxidative burst response was measured by chemiluminescence. The chemiluminescence response of these cells was reduced after a total splenectomy. The phagocyte oxidative burst response returned to normal levels following an autotransplantation. There was no correlation between the amount of autotransplanted spleen and the degree of the oxidative burst response. These findings indicated that a splenectomy results in a diminished phagocyte oxidative burst response and that a spleen autotransplantation returns this function to normal levels.
