    Neutrophil-like cells migrating in a microfluidic chip

    6886

    Neutrophil-like cells (blue) in a microfluidic chip preferentially migrating toward LTB4 over fMLP. A neutrophil is a type of white blood cell that is part of the immune system and helps the body fight infection. Both LTB4 and fMLP are molecules involved in immune response. Microfluidic chips are small devices containing microscopic channels, and they are used in a range of applications, from basic research on cells to pathogen detection. The scale bar in this video is 500μm.
    Public NoteMany cells moving through narrow channels.

    Dear Abbey, That would be great to add my cell migration video to the NIGMS Image and Video Gallery. It isn’t under any copyright restrictions. I hope you have a nice week. Best regards, Caroline

    InvestigatorNeutrophils migrating in my microfluidic competitive chemotaxis-chip (μC3). This specific experiment is dHL-60 (neutrophil-like) cells stimulated with super-low dose LPS migrating toward fMLP and LTB4 within the μC3. dHL-60 cells (blue) stimulated with super low-dose LPS [1 ng/mL LPS] preferentially migrating toward LTB4 over fMLP (green) within the μC3. Scale Bar = 500μm.
