Abstract

Abstract : Virus-transformed and tumor ceils often show a higher chemotactic activity in comparison to normal cells. Here we show that the blind-well chamber assay is an easy and rapid procedure to select cell populations with enhanced chemotactic activity. Collagen-type-specific antibodies have been applied to analyze the efficiency of cell sorting by the chemotaxis assay.
