Innate Immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: Different natural effector mechanisms for killing of M. tuberculosis have now been identified and these basic mechanisms augment the understanding of disease pathogenesis and clinical course and will be of help in designing adjunctive treatment strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix metalloproteinase processing of monocyte chemoattractant proteins generates CC chemokine receptor antagonists with anti-inflammatory properties in vivo

TL;DR: It is proposed that MMPs have an important role in modulating inflammatory and immune responses by processing chemokines in wound healing and in disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The immune system and cardiac repair

TL;DR: Targeting inflammatory pathways following infarction may reduce cardiomyocyte injury and attenuate adverse remodeling, and understanding the role of the immune system in cardiac repair is necessary in order to design optimal strategies for cardiac regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiplexed protein profiling on microarrays by rolling-circle amplification

TL;DR: Coupling of isothermal rolling-circle amplification (RCA) to universal antibodies for this purpose is described, and LPS induced rapid secretion of inflammatory cytokines such as macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1β, interleukin (IL)-8, and interferon-inducible protein (IP)-10 are found.

Two subsets of memory T lymphocytes with distinct homing potentials and effector functions

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of CCR7, a chemokine receptor that controls homing to secondary lymphoid organs, divides human memory T cells into two functionally distinct subsets, which are named central memory (TCM) and effector memory (TEM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Function of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in haematopoiesis and in cerebellar development

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of the involvement of a G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor in neuronal cell migration and patterning in the central nervous system and may be important for designing strategies to block HIV entry into cells and for understanding mechanisms of pathogenesis in AIDS dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defects of B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiesis in mice lacking the CXC chemokine PBSF/SDF-1

TL;DR: It is shown that the chemokine PBSF/SDF-1 has several essential functions in development, including B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiedis and a cardiac ventricular septal defect.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCR7 coordinates the primary immune response by establishing functional microenvironments in secondary lymphoid organs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemokine receptor CCR7 was identified as an important organizer of the primary immune response in mice, and severely delayed kinetics regarding the antibody response and lack contact sensitivity and delayed type hypersensitivity reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new class of membrane-bound chemokine with a CX3C motif

TL;DR: The structure, biochemical features, tissue distribution and chromosomal localization of CX3C chemokine all indicate that it represents a unique class of chemokines that may constitute part of the molecular control of leukocyte traffic at the endothelium.
