Tropism of canine neutrophils to xanthine oxidase
1989
Gruber, D.F. | Farese, A.M.
Quantitative evaluation of neutrophil chemotaxis was performed on cells obtained by hypotonic-lysis techniques from heparinized blood samples from clinically normal dogs. The techniques resulted in neutrophil recovery rates between 60 and 80%. Chemotaxis comparisons were based on cellular migration in microchambers equipped with polycarbonate membranes with 5-micrometer pores. Chemo-attractant comparisons were based on neutrophil migration to medium, normal canine plasma, zymosan-activated plasma, and xanthine oxidase. Cellular migration to zymosan-activated plasma in buffer (1:100 dilution) was significantly (P less than 0.001) enhanced over random baseline medium migration. Neutrophil migrations to normal canine plasma and xanthine oxidase were quantitatively less than to zymosan-activated plasma, but were equivalent to each other and significantly greater than for random migration. Migration to xanthine oxidase was maximal at concentrations near 1 U/ml within 30 minutes.
