Mononuclear Leucocyte Chemotaxis in Boyden Chambers: Inhibition by Subantimitotic Concentrations of Antitubulins

Abstract
The chemotaxis of Lymphoprep-isolated human mononuclear leukocytes (L-MNs) from peripheral blood was inhibited by subantimitotic concentrations of the antitubulins demecolcine, podophyllic acid ethylhydrazide, vinblastine and griseofulvin. L-MN chemotaxis, like polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) chemotaxis, is probably composed of a direct antitubulin-insensitive chemotaxis and a leukocyte-induced antitubulin-sensitive chemotaxis.
