A novel computerized methodology was used to quantify, for the first time, the 3-dimensional locomotory phenotypes of individual macrophages moving within an extracellular matrix-like hydrated collagen lattice/gel. Comparisons between two macrophage lines genetically susceptible to intracellular parasites (B10S4 and ANA-1) and two genetically resistant (B10R4 and CD2) demonstrated that Bcgs alleles consistently endowed macrophages with an outward searching and active locomotion, whereas Bcgr imparted a retrocessive phenotype. Several different macrophage pathogens may have exploited this genetically determined aggressive locomotory behavior of susceptible macrophages to allow them to rapidly enter a sanctuary.
