title: Chemotaxis and phagocytosis in anucleated cytoplasmic fragments of human peripheral blood leucocytes.
abstract: Viable anucleated fragments of hyaloplasm were obtained by heating human blood leucocytes. These anucleated cytoplasmic fragments exhibited random migration, chemotaxis (necrotaxis) toward red cells which had been destroyed by a laser beam and they were capable to ingest heat-killed Staph. albus.
