Analysis of multi-parameter video measurements of human neutrophil movement and its relation to cell shape and cytosolic calcium.
We have developed a software system for the analysis of multiparameter video image data derived from cell tracking experiments. The software is part of an integrated system for the study of human neutrophil motility. Input is taken from a file produced by a separate tracking program. The present software calculates several analytic parameters related to movement as well as novel relations between the distribution of fluorescent probes within the cell and vectors which represent cell movement. The software is designed to facilitate data analysis on several platforms by taking input and producing output as ASCII files.
