Chemotaxis in vitro. Quantitation of human granulocyte movement using a stochastic differential equation.
The quantitation of human granulocyte movement using a stochastic differential equation is described. The method has the potential to distinguish both positive and negative chemotaxis. Analysis and information concerning cell movements can be obtained for any point in time and distance for the duration of the experiment.
