A simple technique for measuring leucocyte chemotaxis in reversible Boyden chambers.

A technique for assay of leucocyte chemotaxis in Boyden chambers is described. A set of up to 12 closed chambers with 2 compartments is formed from commercially available migration plates. The set can be turned during the incubation and thus the detachment of cells from the filter, a major source of variation in classical type of chambers, can be prevented. The technique is simple and so inexpensive that it allows the use of the material as disposable if preferred.
