In vitro cellular migration of leukocytes from turkey poults infected with Alcaligenes faecalis.
The ability of peripheral blood leukocytes from young turkey poults to migrate in vitro was investigated. Migration from capillary tubes was relatively rapid and was usually complete in 2 hours. Leukocyte migration was significantly enhanced in Alcaligenes faecalis-infected turkeys compared with uninfected controls at 1, 2, 5, and 6 weeks of age.
