Chemoattractant Receptors on Neutrophils. Neutrophils are blood cells normally responsible for killing bacteria at sites of infection. Neutrophils are able to find their way toward sites of infection by the process of chemotaxis. In this process, neutrophils sense the presence of bacterial proteins and then follow the trail of these proteins toward the site of infection. Suppose you find that chemotaxis is inhibited by pertussis toxin. What kind of receptor is likely to be involved in responding to bacterial proteins
