ratio around 300 after 2 hours. It concentrated and remained within

the cells, with 80% of the drug remaining cell associated after 2

hours.  Subcellular fractionation of the PMNs showed that the majority

of telithromycin resides within the azurophil granules.  Incorporation

of bacterial inhibition that were greater than those reported for

the other agents tested. </para>

<para>The intracellular kinetics of telithromycin, its effects on

weakly triggered granule exocytosis from PMNs and inhibited superoxide

anion production (oxidative burst) in a time and concentration-dependent

manner. </para>

<para>The effects of various proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin

increase in the rate of telithromycin accumulation in the macrophages;

however, the efflux of telithromycin from the macrophages was slowed

marginally. Cyclosporin and GF120918 increased the accumulation of

telithromycin in the macrophages by 3– to 4–fold following

3 hours of cell incubation with extracellular telithromycin (5 mg/L).

The effect of verapamil on telithromycin was lower than the effect

of the other inhibitors (P &lt; 0.05). The authors concluded that

the data strongly suggests that modulation of P-glycoprotein is responsible

for the observed effects on the accumulation of telithromycin. They

stated that the conclusions for the study were limited to J774 murine

macrophages and could not be applied to other phagocytic cells. The

effects of the efflux proteins on the intracellular activity of telithromycin

may need to be studied systematically.</para>

It was reported that telithromycin rapidly concentrates in WBCs following

Is ref:url defined in the DTD for the ref namespace?

I see it used in your document as

The xml syntax look correct.

What is the definition of the content of ref:url? CDATA?
