How can you use “chemotactic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Ang-1 modulates VEGF-stimulated reorganization of endothelial cells and promotes vascular network maturation [ 9 20 ] . Additionally, both Ang-1 and VEGF are chemotactic and are involved in recruiting endothelial cells to initiate and accelerate endothelialization of blood vessels [ 21 22 ] .
Our results suggest that the anti-tumor properties of SLC/CCL21 may be due to its chemotactic capacity in co-localization of DC and T cells as well as in part to the induction of key cytokines such as IFNγ, IP-10/CXCL10 and MIG/CXCL9.
A number of chemokines, including IL-8, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), MIP-1β, epithelial-derived neutrophil attractant 78, and regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), are known to be found in RA synovial fluid [ 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
A plausible explanation is that these cytokines may be involved in complex interactions with other molecules that are chemotactic for DC.
This is in agreement with other studies showing lack of CCL2 binding to blood neutrophils and general lack of chemotactic response of these cells to CC chemokines [ 26 ] , although recent reports indicate that neutrophils, in response to certain cytokines, are capable of expressing CC chemokine receptors [ 27 28 ] .
