    Leukocyte chemotaxis is crucial for inflammation, involving complex signaling and cellular responses. Understanding these processes and their regulation by chemotactic and antichemotactic factors is key to controlling inflammatory responses.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Inflammation involves leukocyte mobilization, which is dependent on leukocyte chemotaxis.
    • Technological advances allow detailed in vitro characterization of chemotactic stimuli and cell migration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the known chemotactic stimuli and cellular events of leukocyte migration.
    • To discuss the mechanisms regulating chemotactic factor production and activity.
    • To highlight the poorly understood cellular response mechanisms to chemotactic factors.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro biological characterization of chemotactic stimuli.
    • Identification of chemotactic factors from various sources (complement, coagulation, bacterial, viral, immune cells).
    • Characterization of antichemotactic agents and their mechanisms.

    Main Results:

    • Chemotactic factors originate from complement activation, fibrinolysis, kinin generation, collagen, bacterial products, viral infections, lymphocyte activation, and phagocytosis.
    • Antichemotactic agents, including inactivators and inhibitors, regulate chemotaxis.
    • Cellular responses to chemotaxis involve adherence, deformability, and directed migration, requiring complex intracellular events.

    Conclusions:

    • Leukocyte chemotaxis is a multifaceted process involving diverse stimuli and intricate regulatory mechanisms.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the cellular mechanisms underlying the response to chemotactic factors.
    • Understanding chemotaxis is vital for comprehending and potentially modulating inflammatory processes.
