Exogenous IL-8 induces phagocyte activation in the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri
We studied the responses of Botryllus schlosseri phagocyte to human recombinant IL-8 (hrIL-8) at three different concentrations (10, 25 and 50 ng/ml). Both spreading ability and phagocytosis were significantly enhanced by the exogenous chemokine at 25 ...
