Abstract
C[unk]567, prepared by the interaction of purified C[unk]56 with purified C7 in solution, has been shown to be chemotactic for neutrophils and eosinophils. This activity was not significantly affected by the presence of C8 and C9, even in substantial excess. However, if the interaction of C[unk]56 with C7 took place in the presence of an excess of erythrocytes, these cells bound the C[unk]567 and were converted to EC567; and no chemotactic factor was found.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
