The movement of a leukocyte in response to an external stimulus. The directed movement of a neutrophil cell, the most numerous polymorphonuclear leukocyte found in the blood, in response to an external stimulus, usually an infection or wounding. The movement of a dendritic cell in response to an external stimulus. The movement of a granulocyte in response to an external stimulus. A change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a chemical stimulus. The movement of a leukocyte within or between different tissues and organs of the body. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of leukocyte chemotaxis. The movement of a monocyte in response to an external stimulus. The movement of a basophil in response to an external stimulus. The movement of an immune cell in response to an external stimulus during an inflammatory response. The movement of an immune cell in response to an external stimulus a part of an immune response. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of leukocyte chemotaxis. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of leukocyte chemotaxis. The directed movement of a motile cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis). The movement of a mast cell in response to an external stimulus. The movement of an eosinophil in response to an external stimulus. The directed movement of a lymphocyte in response to an external stimulus. The movement of a macrophage in response to an external stimulus. Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats.
