[Leukotactic studies with artificial body cavities in rabbits (author's transl)].
Artificial body cavities (KK) produced by implanting polyethylene balls in the subcutaneous tissues of rabbits proved to be suitable for the in vivo studies of leukotaxis. Na-caseinate induced a cell content per mm-3 KK-fluid of 7000-8500, "clumping-factor" of Staphylococcus aureus that of 9000 and capsular substances of S. aureus a delayed increase to 5300 cells per mm-3 KK-fluid. Paraffinum liquidum caused a somewhat delayed increase in granulocytes and not in macrophages. In all cases the percentage of granulocytes increased with the cell content and reached values up to 96%.
