Abstract excerpt
The chemokine-driven activation of CXC-type chemokine receptors 1/2 (CXCR1/2) and the subsequent reorganization of the neutrophilic actin are early key events in the induction of neutrophil migration toward centers of inflammation. In this study, an image analysis algorithm was developed to detect subtle chemokine-induced changes in the actin cytoskeleton of primary human neutrophils. By this means, a discrete...
