Abstract:
The random migration and chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in agarose were studied in 21 patients with psoriasis and 10 healthy controls. Different concentrations of LTB4 were used as chemoattractants. The random migration and chemotaxis towards lower concentrations of LTB4 were enhanced and that towards higher concentrations of LTB4 reduced in psoriasis. The differences of body involvement, sex, and family history of psoriasis had no influence on PMN migration.
