Chemotaxis assays were carried out in triplicate as described in Materials and Methods. Cells were preincubated (60 min at 37°C) with the desensitizers indicated and then were assayed for chemotaxis. The value 100% refers to a chemotactic index of 2.0 observed in the presence of 0.2 mM fMLP in the lower well in the absence of desensitizers. The 0 value refers to a chemotactic index of 1, i.e., no stimulation. Data are the mean ± SEM of three experiments.
Peptide 3 is the synthetic chemotactic peptide located between domains 1 and 2 (sequence: AVTYSRSRYLEC).
