Chemotactic activity of CAMPs. CAMP-induced migration of mouse immature dendritic JAWSII cells (a) and CHO-K1 cells expressing avian CCR2 (b) was measured at the following peptide concentrations: 1, 4, 16, and 64 μg/ml. c Migrated JAWSII cells on the membrane induced by CAMP-A at peptide concentrations of 1, 4, 16, and 64 μg/ml. White pores are membrane pores (diameter: 8 μm) and blue ones are stained JAWSII cells. Bar: 50 μm. Chemotactic index (C.I.) was expressed as the number of migrated cells induced by CAMP / the number of migrated cells in response to chemotactic buffer. Data represent the means of five independent experiments ± SD. An asterisk indicates significant difference (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01)
