What is chemotaxic?

Answer 1

Chemotoxin is a term employed to name a protein that results of the fusion of a chemokine and a toxin.Usually this fusion is accomplished by mean of genetic engineering techniques. Some chemotoxins are being developed as therapeutic with the goal of deliver a toxin to cells that express in the membrane a receptor which is specific for the chemokine and thus only the cells expressing that receptor will be damaged. Such a treatment would be useful against tumor cell or in certain autoimmune diseases.

Answer 2

Chemotaxis factors refers to the soluble molecules that attract and guide the movement of cells like the phagocytes in the inflammatory response. It can also be described as any small molecule that acts as a chemical stimulus along a concentration gradient, attracting macrophages and other cell.

Answer 3

It is from the word "chemotaxis". This term describes the phenomenon whereby cells (for example white blood cells and bacteria) rely on chemicals in their environment to direct their movements.

Answer 4

Chemotaxis is the movement of an organism in response to a chemical stimulus. It involves directed movement either towards (positive chemotaxis) or away from (negative chemotaxis) the chemical signal. This behavior is commonly observed in bacteria, immune cells, and other cell types.
