Chicken heterophil chemotaxis using Staphylococcus-generated chemoattractants.
Heterophil chemotaxis, in response to chemotactic factors generated by three different strains of staphylococcal bacteria, was measured using the modified Boyden-chamber technique. Heterophils were obtained from healthy 6-to-8-week-old broiler chickens. Each bacterial strain generated factors that were chemotactic for chicken heterophils. Factors generated by two pathogenic isolates of Staphylo...
متن کاملPlanar Gradient Diffusion System to Investigate Chemotaxis in a 3D Collagen Matrix.
The importance of cell migration can be seen through the development of human life. When cells migrate, they generate forces and transfer these forces to their surrounding area, leading to cell movement and migration. In order to understand the mechanisms that can alter and/or affect cell migration, one can study these forces. In theory, understanding the fundamental mechanisms and forces under...
متن کاملGeneration of stable concentration gradients in 2D and 3D environments using a microfluidic ladder chamber.
We have developed a simple microfluidic device for generating stable concentration gradients in 2D and 3D environments. The device, termed the Ladder Chamber, uses a two-compartment diffusion system to generate steady state gradients across flow-free channels that connect the source and sink channels. To demonstrate the utility of the Ladder Chamber for cell migration, neutrophil chemotaxis was...
متن کاملOn the Solutions of Time-fractional Bacterial Chemotaxis in a Diffusion Gradient Chamber
The study of pattern formation in bacterial colonies is of particular interest both from the biological and physical points of view [1]. Growth and development of bacteria population shows a great variety of geometrical shapes. Adler [2-3] was the first to obtain bacterial population waves in the form of concentric circle. Golding et al. [4] are interested in the opposite case, where nutrient s...
متن کاملI-8: Sperm Chemotaxis towards Progesterone,A Guiding Mechanism That May Be Used to Select The Best Spermatozoa for Assisted Reproduction
Background: Spermatozoa are able to sense an attractant molecule gradient and as a consequence, orient their movement towards the source of the attractant. This mechanism is known as sperm chemotaxis. In recent years, our laboratory contributed to the knowledge of several features of mammalian sperm chemotaxis. These include the size and physiological state of the chemotactic sperm population, ...
