Abstract:
Chemotaxis and adhesion molecules were investigated in peripheral blood neutrophils incubated with saliva collected from healthy donors. A salivary concentration of 20% increased chemotactic responses and CD11a/CD18 and CD11b/CD18 expression, but had no effect on formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine receptors.
