title: Circadian rhythms in cell migration in vitro, and its effect on antigen-induced migration inhibition.
abstract: White cell migration from capillary tubes has been studied using blood taken from man and rats over a 24-hr period. When the blood white cell count was lowest in both species, the migration areas were maximal. In man, this variation did not affect the migration index obtained in response to a specific antigen.
