elegans would modify its
chemotaxis preference after exposure to Bt.
Chicken soup inhibits neutrophil
chemotaxis in vitro.
Moreover,
chemotaxis and thermotaxis of the sperm have been investigated previously in many studies [17, 18].
From RAST annotation and manual curation, about 75 genes encoding motility and
chemotaxis factors were identified in the study Bdellovibrio strains.
The transwell culture showed
chemotaxis effect of LPP, indicating that the directional migration of CSPC might be strengthened with higher concentration of LPP.
These genes were related to monocyte
chemotaxis, sensitivity to glucocorticoids (steroids used for treatment of secondary osteoporosis), and histamine production, respectively [30].
Sperm
chemotaxis has been demonstrated in many species, including cnidarians (Miller, 1966, 1978, 1979).
Some bacteria even are able to move chemotactically, thereby is
chemotaxis the ability of organisms to direct their movements according to certain chemicals in their environment.
Thalidomide shows immunomodulatory activity through suppression of tumour necrosis factor-alpha, basic fibroblast growth factor and neutrophil
chemotaxis.10 A study was carried out by Elgart, that included four patients with pyoderma gangrenosum unresponsive to treatment with prednisone, cyclosporin, colchicine, cytoxan, and dapsone.
Osteopontin (SPP1, OPN) is a multifunctional protein involved in a number of biological processes;
chemotaxis, bone remodeling, cell adhesion, inhibition of ectopic calcification, fetal growth and development, cancer metastasis and immune modulatory functions (Schack et al., 2009).
This finding makes sense, as vitamin [D.sub.3] induces the topical production of antimicrobial peptides, which have direct antimicrobial activity and induce a host response characterized by cytokine release,
Chemotaxis, inflammation, angiogenesis, and re-epithelialization, she added.
