TL;DR: The antimicrobial proteins, CAP37/azurocidin and defensins H NP-1 and HNP-2, are identified as potent neutrophil-derived chemoattractants for T-cells, which represent primordial antimicrobial peptides which may have evolved into acute inflammatory cell-derived signals that mobilize immunocompetent T- cells and other inflammatory cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that recombinant human (rh) SAA also induces directional migration of T cells in vitro, and may play an important role in recruiting T lymphocytes, as well as neutrophils and monocytes into inflammatory lesions.

TL;DR: Since MCP3 has been reported to use MCP1 receptor(s), this work's results with transfected 293 cells expressing only C-C CKR1 clearly establish that C-MIP1α or macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (Mip1α)/Rantes receptor is also a functional receptor for M CP3.

TL;DR: The two types of IL-8 receptor differ in their cellular distribution and are regulated in response to cytokines and LPS, which may be important in the in vivo control of PMN effector functions in inflammation.

TL;DR: It is shown that mouse CD11c+ MHC class II−lineage− cells are immediate precursors of conventional DC and are widely distributed in both bone marrow and lymphoid tissues and highlight the importance of in situ replication of immediate DCp and DC in maintaining conventional DC populations.
