A device for monitoring leukocyte migration is provided. The device
generally includes a plurality of chambers, each chamber including a
channel in which leukocyte migration mediators or endothelial cells are
disposed therein. The device is fabricated in the footprint of a standard
microtiter plate. The invention also provides a method of using the
device to monitor leukocyte migration in the presence of physiological
shear flow and therefore simulate physiological conditions of a blood
vessel in vivo. The invention further provides a method of using the
device to high-throughput screen a plurality of test agents.
