ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method for measuring aggregation in sponge cells using a clinical aggregometer. In addition, using the marine sponge cell as an in vitro model for neutrophil aggregation, a method to determine the relative anti-inflammatory properties of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical agents by clinical aggregometry is also disclosed.
