Cell polarity: an examination of its behavioral expression and its consequences for polymorphonuclear leukocyte chemotaxis

Locomoting polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) exhibit a morphological polarity. We demonstrate that they also exhibit a behavioral polarity in their responsiveness to chemotactic factor stimulation. This is demonstrated by (a) the pattern of their locomotion in a homogeneous concentration of chemot...
