Chemotactic Activity of Bone Marrow-Derived Macrophages Changes with Time in Culture

Abstract

The number of bone marrow-derived macrophages able to respond to chemotactic stimuli varies with time in culture. Chemotactic response was optimal at 2 weeks and may depend on cell maturation or differentiation or both.
