Measurement of monocyte chemotaxis in children by 48 Well Micro Chemotaxis Chamber

A 48-well micro chemotaxis assembly for rapid and accurate measurement of leukocyte migration.

We designed a 48-well chemotaxis chamber to minimize manipulation time and amount of material required by the larger blindwell or Boyden chemotaxis chamber. Cell and chemoattractant dose-response curves showed that results were comparable to our better than those obtained with blindwell chambers. The volume of chemoattractant per well is 25 microliter; the number of cells can be as low as 10,00...

Chamber for bacterial chemotaxis experiments.

A design for a chemotaxis chamber and its use in bacterial chemotaxis experiments are described. Some of the advantages of the new design are discussed.

Using the Dunn Chemotaxis Chamber (Hawksley DCC100)

A new direct-viewing chemotaxis chamber.

A new form of chamber for studying chemotaxis, similar in principle to the Zigmond chamber, allows the behaviour of the cells in a linear concentration gradient to be observed directly. The chamber was developed mainly for studying chemotaxis in fibroblasts using interferometric microscopy and the main design criteria were that it should have better optical characteristics, a higher dimensional...

Monocyte function in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Defective chemotaxis.

The ineffective immune response in patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) contributes to severe and widespread infections and unrestricted growth by certain tumors. To determine whether monocyte dysfunction contributes to this immunosuppressed condition, we investigated monocyte chemotaxis in patients with AIDS. Using three different chemotactic stimuli, N-formylmethionyll...
