    Abstract

    Sonicated whole cells of one of three tested goncoccal strains stimulated neutrophil migration in the agarose gel model. The activity was retained by the material pelleted by high-speed centrifugation of the sonicate. This supports the theory that certain strains possess a cytotaxin bound to the outer membrane.
