Neutrophils: Two-Photon Data: Neutrophils in an Infected Lung

Description Usage Format Source References Examples

Description

Labelled neutrophils were adoptively transfered and intravitally imaged (using two-photon microscopy) inside the lung of the recipient mouse. These cells display a fairly directed kind of motion, as they move towards infection foci.

Usage

1
data("Neutrophils")

Format

An S3 object of class "tracks"; a list with 10 elements. Each element name identifies a cell track. Each element is a matrix containing the following four columns.

t

the time (in seconds)

x

The X coordinate (in micrometers)

y

The Y coordinate (in micrometers)

z

The Z coordinate (in micrometers)

Source

Data were generated in 2012 in the Mark J. Miller Lab, Department of Medicine, Washington University in St Louis, USA.
