One research has shown increased chemotactic activity of macrophage, decreased IL1, TNF-[alpha] production, and
chemokinesis that occur in in vivo opioids exposure [11].
Random cell motility (
chemokinesis) was assessed by adding an equal concentration of cytokines in both upper and lower wells of the chamber.
(8) Stromal cell-derived factor-1 ([SDF.sub.1]), a chemokine factor expressed by BMSCs, regulates the trafficking, homing and migration of stem cell by mediating
chemokinesis and chemotaxis into the injury site.
Furthermore, it has been found that the amoeba produces factor inhibitor locomotion monocytes (FILM) which in turn inhibits the chemotaxis and
chemokinesis of macrophages (Kretschmer et al., 1985).

chemokinesis, degranulation, and apoptosis in eosinophils through the PGD2 receptors CRTH2 and DP," Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, vol.
Further studies provided evidence for ATP- and ADP-induced microglial
chemokinesis (motility) and chemotaxis (directed migration) in cultured microglia exposed to varying concentrations of purines [28].
