Chemotactic migration

Actin filaments are dynamic polymers whose assembly and disassembly in the cell cytoplasm drives shape changes (Small, 1989), cell locomotion (Theriot et al, 1992), and chemotactic migration (Theriot et al., 1992)Devreotes and... 

Drugs useful are indomethacin, piroxicam or naproxen. Their usefulness is due to strong antiinflammatory action and can be continued for 3-4 weeks. They also inhibit chemotactic migration of leukocytes into the affected joint. 

Cinnamomum cassia, a species of cinnamon related to that found in Herbal Blend, inhibits complement-dependent allergic reaction by reducing immunological hemolysis, chemotactic migration of neutrophils, and the generation of chemotactic factors by mast cells in response to complement-activated serum.9...

The ultimate cellular response following chemokine receptor activation is chemotactic migration, i.e., chemotaxis of cells (Moser, Wolf, Walz, Loetscher, 2004). Traditionally, this is measured with an in vitro transwell assay, where suspension cells (leukocytes) are placed in droplets on top of a filter, which on its lower side is in contact with medium containing... 

In this chapter, we provide three methods for examining DC-LEC interactions driven by chemokines. The first two allow for phenotypic characterization of DC-LEC interactions, namely static chemotactic migration and adhesion/transmigration under shear flow, as affected by chemokine-receptor interactions or HS targeting. The third allows us to visualize direct interactions between chemokines relevant to the lymphatic microenvironment and their cognate receptors on the surface of trafficking cells (in this case LLC tumor cells). Based on these methods, we were able to... 

During the course of the inflammatory phase of tissue healing, various signaling factors orchestrate the functional behaviors of immune cells. Thus, the extent of immune response can be modulated locally by incorporating appropriate bioactive signaling molecules into the biomaterial scaffold. These biochemical factors can direct cellular adhesion, chemotactic migration, or functional phenotypes.

A preparation of . purpurea expressed sap increased the in vitro phagocytosis of Candida albicans by granulocytes and monocytes from healthy donors by 30-45%. The chemotactic migration of granulocytes in the Boy den Chamber was increased by 45%. There was no effect in either direction on intracellular killing of...
