A semi-automatic method of measuring leucocyte movement.

A semi-automatic system has been developed for measuring the migration of leucocytes within a micropore filter. The distance in micrometers is displayed digitally or analysed on-line by a digital computer. These improvements have resulted in considerable saving in time, permitting the full potential of the micropore method to be utilised. To illustrate this technique we report results from experiments to measure dose-response relationships of leucocytes to casein and the variation in response to Staphylococcus aureus and casein of cells from normal human subjects.

Caseins

An interface to input analogue signals to a digital computer.

An electrical control unit is described which permits analogue signals from most sources to be made compatible with, and optimise the use of, an A/D converter. This circuitry enables the signal to be offset, relative to the electrical zero, and to be reset to zero using a push button. Extension of this unit has enabled mechanical movement, such as rotation of a shaft, to be measured. In order to make the most efficient use of the A/D converter the gain of the output can be varied.
