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 range of chemotaxis receptors and ligands enables the identification of responsive cells using a simple chemotaxis assay. By utilizing chemotactic selection, we can determine whether a novel molecule activates the long- or short-term receptor pathway. Recent research has demonstrated that chemokines (e.g.)
