title: Further studies on a chemoattractant derived from Aleurites Fordii Hemsl. seed.
abstract: 1. Activities stimulatory to PMN superoxide generation and chemotactic function were present in two separate gel chromatographic fractions of AFH-S and were designated AFH-S1 (500 kD) and AFH-S2 (38 kD). 2. Characterization studies of these activities revealed physiologic and pharmacologic characteristics dissimilar to those of other previously studied chemoattractants such as bacterial peptide FMLP.
