Figure 4. Migration of ZAP-70+ CLL cells toward CCL19 and CCL21, but not CXCL12, is increased when compared with ZAP-70– CLL cells. PB CLL cells were assayed in the bare filter chemotaxis assay for migration in response to CCL19, CCL21 (1 μg/mL), or CXCL12 (100 ng/mL). CLL cell migration is expressed as a migration index as described in “Patients, materials, and methods” under “Chemotaxis assay.” The concentration of the chemokines were those that induced maximal migration.18 Input and transmigrated cells were stained with anti-CD19 and anti-CD5 antibodies to determine the percentages of input CLL B cells that migrated into the lower chambers. Results for each chemokine are the mean ± SEM of 5 independent experiments. Student 2-sample 2-tailed t test. N/S indicates not significant.
