Abstract
EXPERIMENTAL and clinical studies have frequently been reported on the effect of biliary obstruction and portal cirrhosis on the functions of the liver ; but no reports on the influence of these conditions on the reticulo-endothelial system appear to have been recorded. The following investigations were therefore planned to study the effect of experimental biliary obstruction on the phagocytic activity of the reticulo-endothelial system.
