Abstract

Leukotaxis of circulating polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN's) appears to be a critical step in the generation of local inflammatory reactions. The present studies demonstrate a reversible, dose-dependent inhibition of PMN chemotaxis by streptokinase-streptodornase (SK-SD). This inhibition does not appear to depend upon the presence of lymphocytes or the release of chemokinetic humoral factors and phagocytic and bactericidal capacities of PMN's are unaffected by the doses of SK-SD employed.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
