    A new method quantifies leukocyte necrotactic rosette forming index (NRI). Cytochalasin B lowers NRI, while infections increase it, offering insights into immune cell behavior.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Leukocyte behavior is crucial in immune responses.
    • Quantifying leukocyte responses to cellular damage is important for understanding inflammation and infection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an easy method for determining the necrotactic rosette forming index (NRI) of leucocytes.
    • To investigate the effect of specific drugs and patient conditions on NRI.

    Main Methods:

    • Laser-induced destruction of red blood cells to stimulate leukocyte response.
    • Quantification of the necrotactic rosette forming index (NRI).
    • Assessment of drug effects (cytochalasin B, PHA, CON-A) and patient samples (infections) on NRI.
    • Analysis using transmission and scanning electron microscopy.

    Main Results:

    • Cytochalasin B (0.5 mug/ml) significantly reduced the NRI.
    • Lectins PHA and CON-A did not affect the NRI.
    • Patients with infections exhibited an increased NRI.
    • Electron microscopy provided detailed structural insights into the phenomenon.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method provides a simple way to measure leukocyte necrotactic response.
    • Cytochalasin B influences leukocyte aggregation, while PHA and CON-A do not.
    • Elevated NRI in infected patients suggests its potential as an indicator of inflammatory conditions.
