HisRS-induced chemotaxis is inhibited by pertussis toxin. Primary lymphocytes were incubated with increasing amounts of pertussis toxin for 1 h before being added to the upper wells of a chemotaxis chamber. Compared with binding media control, the HRS-induced migration was significantly reduced (unpaired Student t test, P < 0.0001) at 10 ng/ml. Higher concentration of pertussis toxin begins to be toxic and reduce spontaneous migration. Each condition was performed in triplicate. Each assay was performed a minimum of three times.
