Abstract: | Summary Three acidic polysaccharide (AP) fractions and the prostaglandin-like substances (PLS) isolated fromP. acnes were investigated regarding their chemotactic activities on polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Both AP's and PLS induced a significant chemotactic response, which suggests their involvement in inflammatory acne vulgaris. |
