cytotaxigen

cytotaxigen
cy·to·tax·i·gen (si″to-taksґĭ-jən) a substance that mediates chemotaxis of cells indirectly by inducing cytotaxin formation; thus antigen-antibody complexes are cytotaxigenic because when added to serum they fix complement, resulting in the liberation of chemotactic factors derived from complement.
