The fate of virulent Salmonella typhimurium within macrophages of guinea pigs was assessed by a suspended cell culture procedure. The present study confirmed that macrophages of normal guinea pigs were capable of inactivating the ingested salmonellae. Macrophages of previously infected guinea pigs were not endowed with any significant increase in their ability to eliminate the ingested pathogen. However, the immune macrophages were observed to clump together tightly when they were exposed to salmonellae. This phenomenon was attributed to the presence of specific cytophilic antibodies on the immune macrophages. When immune macrophages were inactivated with Merthiolate, they agglutinated with both the H and the O antigens of S. typhimurium, but not with the O antigens of other species of Salmonella nor with the O antigens of Escherichia coli. Cytophilic antibodies could be eluted from immune macrophages by incubation in the absence of immune serum. Conversely, cytophilic antibodies could be passively transferred onto normal macrophages by incubation in the presence of immune serum. Furthermore, using immune serum previously adsorbed with the O antigens of S. typhimurium, cytophilic antibodies against the H antigens alone could be transferred onto normal macrophages, or those against the O antigens alone could be eluted from immune macrophages. These data suggest that immune macrophages possess specific cytophilic antibodies against both the H and the O antigens of S. typhimurium. It is proposed that the presence of cytophilic antibodies on immune macrophages represents an expression of antibacterial cellular immunity by enhanced clumping and phagocytic activities of the macrophages.
