Abstract
USING a new technique, Boyden1 has shown that rabbit serum after incubation in vitro with an antigen-antibody precipitate becomes strongly chemotactic to rabbit granulocytes. Prior heating of the serum to 56° for 30 min was found to prevent activation of the chemotactic principle which, once formed, was relatively heat-stable.
