title: [Granulocyte migration in vitro in psoriasis patients induced by aromatic retinoid].
abstract: The influence of the aromatic retinoid Ro 10-9359 on the migration of neutrophilic granulocytes was examined in standardized supravital preparation. For this purpose, leukocytes were taken from 5 psoriasis patients who had been treated with 75 mg of aromatic retinoid for 3 weeks. The examinations showed that the course of granulocyte migration was disturbed: the dormant stage was prolonged up to several hours. Maximum cell motility was already reached in that stage of motion in which the granulocytes maintained a constantly changing and bizarre cell pattern. The migration stage, which is characterized by a directed linear cell movement, was absent. Leukocyte survival time was shortened by 50%, and cell degeneration was abnormal under the influence of the aromatic retinoid.
