We have investigated the effects of a novel neutrophil-activating factor released by Trichomonas vaginalis (TV-NAF) on neutrophil chemotaxis. TV-NAF was present in the supernatant from 107 T. vaginalis (STV) cultured in 1 ml of serum-free Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) at 37°C for 30 min. With a multichamber chemotactic assay, we found that there were 112 + 15 migrated neutrophils (mean ±...
