A Two-Dimensional Random-Walk Analysis of Human Granulocyte Movement

Stephen C Peterson, Peter B Noble
PMCID: PMC1484240  PMID: 5044578

Abstract

An equation describing a two-dimensional random walk with non-uniform step length is derived and applied to a cinephotomicrographic analysis of human granulocyte movement. The method is also applied to a generally recognized chemotactic movement.
