The chemokinetic effect of serum albumin
Abstract
Experiments performed by means of time lapse cinematography or the filter technique show that human serum albumin has marked chemokinetic effects on neutrophil cultured in Gey's solution. The average speed of the cells, as well as the proportion of neutrophils showing locomotion, is increased. Enhanced locomotion correlates with decreased attachment to the substratum as determined by morphological and functional criteria.
