Synopsis

The study of chemotactic reactions has always attracted scientists from many disciplines. Not only does it have an intrinsic fascination as a form of cellular behaviour, but it is now beginning to be possible to approach it at the molecular level. In at least three widely diverse cell types, the enterobacteria, the cellular slime moulds and the mammalian leucocytes, rapid progress is being made in understanding the underlying mechanisms of signal perception and message transduction.
