Chemotaxis of porcine neutrophils under agarose

G S Smith et al. Can J Comp Med. 1985 Jan.

Abstract

The standardization of pig neutrophil chemotaxis under agarose is described. The mean chemotactic index for pig neutrophils from six pigs measured over four days was 1.29. Comparative studies of human and pig neutrophil chemotaxis under agarose revealed a lower chemotactic index for pig neutrophils (mean of 1.18) compared to human neutrophils (mean of 2.43). The results suggest that this is due to differences intrinsic to human and pig neutrophils. In vitro pig neutrophil chemotaxis was measured in normal pigs and in pigs following experimental Salmonella typhimurium infection. Significant alterations in chemotaxis were not evident one and seven days postinfection.
