Neutrophils respond in a hierarchal manner to competing gradients of chemoattractants. (a) Migration of neutrophils in competing chemotactic gradients. Six gradients were tested: the first consisted of optimal fMLP (1.0 pmol) and 1/100th optimal IL-8 (0.1 pmol), the second consisted of 1/100th optimal fMLP (0.01 pmol) and optimal IL-8 (10.0 pmol), and the third consisted of optimal gradients of fMLP and IL-8. The fourth gradient consisted of optimal IL-8 and optimal C5a (10.0 pmol). The fifth gradient consisted of optimal LTB4 (10.0 pmol) and optimal fMLP. The final gradient consisted of optimal LTB4 and optimal C5a. (b) Migration of p38 MAPK inhibited neutrophils from a well containing 10.0 pmol IL-8 or 1.0 pmol fMLP to wells containing various concentrations of fMLP or IL-8. Results are shown as mean ± SE (n = 10). *P < 0.05 compared with migration toward fMLP.
