RESUMO
The induction of chemotactic factor by rheumatoid factor (RF) and by rheumatoid complexes and their constituents was investigated. The presence of chemotactic factor was measured by the number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (obtained from normal individuals) attracted through a 3 μm Millipore filter and is expressed as a “chemotactic index.” The chemotactic index was used to measure the effect of immunoglobulins and their complexes in stimulating production of complement-derived chemotactic factors from the sera of normal individuals.
