Abstract The dynamics of formation of macrophagal granulomas in the liver after intravenous infection of albino mice with ornithosis virus was studied. During granuloma formation the macrophages pass through a stage of reutilization of breakdown products of leukocytes and they become resistant to ornithosis virus. Together with remnants of leukocytes, histones and cationic proteins with high antiornithosis activity in vitro may also enter the cytoplasm of the macrophages. The increased resistance of macrophages to the virus after reutilization of the leukocyte breakdown products is evidently one of the mechanisms of resistance formation in inflammatory foci associated with ornithosis.
