[Periodontal ligament cell chemotactic factor] A chemotactic factor (see also: Chemotaxis) of approximately 7 kDa isolated from human periodontal ligament cells (Ye et al, 1995). It induces the directed migration of the cells in vitro. PDL-CTX is not chemotactic for gingival fibroblasts or gingival epithelial cells. Antibodies directed against PDGF, FGF, TGF-beta, IGF-1, IGF-2, NGF, and EGF do not inhibit the PDL-CTX-elicited chemotactic response in periodontal ligament cells (Nishimura and Terranova, 1996).
