Biological characterization of purified macrophage-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor by M. Dias-Baruffi, M. C. Roque-Barreira, F. Q. Cunha, S. H. Ferreira

“…This protein causes in vitro chemotaxis as well as in vivo neutrophil migration even in animals treated with dexamethasone. This in vivo chemotactic activity of MNCF in animals pretreated with dexamethasone is an uncommon characteristic which discriminates MNCF from known chemotactic cytokines. …”

Harmonization of the fastest and densest responses reflects humanlike reaction time in mice by Chan Hee Kim

“…Unlike humans, whose RT usually reflects a one-to-one stimulus–response relationship, the RT of animals can show two peaks representing the fastest and densest responses in the response distribution due to multiple responses per trial and can be further delayed depending on stimulus duration.MethodsStimulus duration was controlled to investigate whether these two peak latencies align to form a single RT. …”
