Preliminary studies on the chemotactic potential of dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula) leucocytes using the bipolar
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology
|June 1, 1986
Abstract:
The bipolar shape formation assay, previously used to determine the chemotactic potential of various factors for mammalian leucocytes, was tested in the present study with granulocytes of the lesser spotted dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula. Bipolar shape formation was found to be a temperature dependent process with maximal formation observed at 30 degrees C. Addition of the formyl peptide, N-formyl-methionyl-phenylalanine failed to induce any bipolar forms at all temperatures and concentrations tested.
