Heterocytotropic refers to something that is attracted to cells of a different species. Heterocytotropic comes from the Greek word "heteros" meaning "other," the Greek word "kytos" meaning "cell," and the Greek word "trope" meaning "a turning forward." Put the words together and you get "other cell a turning forward."
