The diverse feature of the chemotaxis receptors and ligands provides the possibility to select chemotactic responder cells with a simple chemotaxis assay. By chemotactic selection we can determine whether a still not characterized molecule acts via the long- or the short-term receptor pathway. Recent results proved that chemokines (e.g.
The diverse nature of chemotaxis receptors and ligands allows for the identification of responsive cells using a simple chemotaxis assay. By utilizing chemotactic selection, we can determine whether a molecule activates the long- or short-term receptor pathway. Recent findings have shown that chemokines (e.g.)
