Ten years ago interest in leukocyte chemotaxis was restricted to a
relatively small group of scientists whose interests were quite
circumscribed. In the past decade both the number of workers and
their publications has grown at some thing approaching an
exponential rate and, more importantly, the field has gradually
expanded to encompass a large number of diverse areas (mediators,
receptors, cell effector mechanisms, regulatory factors, etc.). It
is now apparent that leukocytes are particularly useful for studies
of the locomotory behavior of all cell types and of mechanisms
controlling cell movement and orientation. Chemotactic factors,
once discovered as substan ces able to induce directional migration
in leukocytes, are now recognized as potent stimulators of a
variety of cell functions. Based on our knowledge in the field of
basic research in leuko cyte chemotaxis, clinical observations in
combination with ex perimental studies in vivo have provided new
insights into the role of leukocyte-mediator interactions. The
recognition that a specific interaction between chemotactic factor
and leukocyte can lead to a multitude of cellular responses and
products has opened up a broad area of study. The diversity of
contributions to this volume based on a conference which was held
in May 1982 in Gersau, Switzerland, reflects this development and
demonstra tes that leukocyte chemotaxis continues to be an area of
fasci nating and highly active research.
