Metallothionein mediates leukocyte chemotaxis [PDF]
BMC Immunology, 2005 Background Metallothionein (MT) is a cysteine-rich, metal-binding protein that can be induced by a variety of agents. Modulation of MT levels has also been shown to alter specific immune functions.

Modeling leukocyte-leukocyte non-contact interactions in a lymph node. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The interaction among leukocytes is at the basis of the innate and adaptive immune-response and it is largely ascribed to direct cell-cell contacts. However, the exchange of a number of chemical stimuli (chemokines) allows also non-contact interaction ...

Combined boyden-flow cytometry assay improves quantification and provides phenotypification of leukocyte chemotaxis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Chemotaxis has been studied by classical methods that measure chemotactic and random motility responses in vitro, but these methods do not evaluate the total number and phenotype of migrating leukocytes simultaneously.

THE EFFECT OF ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS ON LEUKOCYTE CHEMOTAXIS
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1978 The effects of several chemotherapeutic agents on the chemotaxis of human leukocytes were studied in an in vitro system using a Sykes-Moore chamber and a double-filter technique. Chemotactic factor was generated by the interaction of normal human serum and zymosan.

Splenic Transcriptional Responses in Severe Visceral Leishmaniasis: Impaired Leukocyte Chemotaxis and Cell Cycle Arrest [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Structural changes in the spleen have been reported in several infectious diseases. In visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a severe parasitic disease caused by Leishmania spp., the loss of white pulp accompanies a severe clinical presentation.

Combined Antiplatelet Therapy Reduces the Proinflammatory Properties of Activated Platelets
TH Open, 2021 The cause of atherothrombosis is rupture or erosion of atherosclerotic lesions, leading to an increased risk of myocardial infarction or stroke. Here, platelet activation plays a major role, leading to the release of bioactive molecules, for example ...

Role of insulin hormone in modulation of inflammatory phenomena [PDF]
Einstein (São Paulo), 2011 Evidence demonstrates the involvement of hormones in thedevelopment of inflammatory response. Inflammation evokes markedstructural alterations of microvasculature, besides migration ofleukocytes from microcirculation to the site of lesion.
