Boyden chamber

A chamber used to measure chemotaxis, especially of leukocytes.

Boyden chamber

(boyd′ĕn)
A chamber used to measure chemotaxis. Cells are placed on one side of a membrane and chemotactic material on the other. The number of cells migrating to the filter quantitates the chemotactic effect.

In both Boyden chamber and wound-healing assays, we observed increased cell migration after treatment of SKBR3 cells with one of three OH-PBDEs (4'-OH-BDE-049, 5'-OH-BDE-099, and 3'-OH-BDE-154), and we found that pretreatment with G15 resulted in significant reduction of this cell migration, suggesting that it was mediated through activation of the GPER pathway.
