Table 1. Summary of micropipette assay chemotactic responses.

Macrophages Directional protrusion (%) Retraction (%) n (experiments; cells)
shControl 94.8±3.4 43.2±13.1 7; 49
shWASp 91.1±3.3 78.7±7.1* 7; 49
Y291F 93.8±3.2 23.3±10 10; 36
WT BMM 91.0±3.9 4.5±3.1 13; 32
WASp−/− BMM 89.7±4.3 81.7±6.67*** 10; 33

Percentages of cells that exhibited directional protrusions towards the micropipette and retracted within five minutes of CSF-1 stimulation are shown. Percentages were calculated by dividing the number of positive responses over the total number of cell responses recorded from each of the analyzed time-lapse images and averaging them. Indicates SEM. n indicates the total number of experiments and cells analyzed for each macrophage type.

*indicates p<0.05 compared to shControl and Y291F cells.

***indicates p<0.001 compared to wild type (WT) BMM.
