Using the Dunn Chemotaxis Chamber to Analyze Primary Cell Migration in Real Time
The directed migration of cells (chemotaxis) occurs not only during wound healing and inflammatory responses but also during embryonic development. However, the intracellular signaling pathways that enable a cell to detect a chemoattractant and subsequently migrate toward the source are not clearly defined. The Dunn chemotaxis chamber in conjunction with time-lapse microscopy is a powerful tool that enables the user to observe directly the morphological response of cells to a chemoattractant in real time. Here, using the Dunn chemotaxis chamber, we describe the response of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages to colony stimulating factor-1. This is a particularly useful protocol as it can be adapted to study bone marrow-derived macrophages isolated from genetically modified mice and thus study the requirement of a specific protein in cell migration and chemotaxis.
