Leukocyte migration and phagocytosis in progressive systemic sclerosis.
Experiments "in vitro" have been performed to study the chemotactic and phagocytotic response of PMN in 9 patients suffering from progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS). Their granulocytes showed a normal behaviour in all of these functions, when compared with healthy volunteers as controls.
