Abstrakt: The article presents a study related to the emigration of leucocytes. Electron micrographs have been made of the capillaries and small venules in rat skin at a time following the intradermal injection of homologous serum at which active leucocytic emigration occurs. Stages in the migration of blood leucocytes are illustrated. Polymorphs escape from small vessels by insertion of a pseudopod into the endothelium followed by amoeboid-like migration of the cell through the wall of the blood vessel. Appreciable delay commonly occurs at either the basement membrane or peri-endothelial cell layer before eventual escape of the cell into surrounding tissues. After passage of leucocytes through the endothelium no residual evidence of such passage is visible.
