The effect of calf thymus extract (TFX) on human T lymphocyte and neutrophil mobility and chemotactic response in vitro.
Calf thymus extract (TFX) was found to increase in vitro normal human T lymphocyte and granulocyte mobility, having no effect on their chemotactic response. TFX, when placed in the lower part of the chemotactic chamber was found to act as a chemotactic factor, even stronger than NHS and casein.
