A study was carried out to determine the effect of protein deficiency on the phagocytic function of blood neutrophils and of peritoneal exudate of rats.

Englobement of S. aureus and latex particles was found to be normal in both groups. Alkaline phosphatase activity in the neutrophils appear to be increased in the deficient animals.
