CXCL10: A candidate biomarker in transplantation

TL;DR: The critical role of CXCL10 in the pathogenesis of allograft rejection following organ transplantation is examined to highlight its potential utilization not only as a therapeutic target but also as a biomarker to predict the severity of rejection, to monitor the inflammatory status of organ recipients and to fine-tune patient therapy in transplantation.

Quantitative Differences in Chemokine Receptor Engagement Generate Diversity in Integrin-Dependent Lymphocyte Adhesion

TL;DR: Investigation of the biological significance of distinct chemokines binding to the same receptor shows how quantitative variations in chemokine receptor expression level and ligand engagement may alter the selectivity of integrin-dependent lymphocyte adhesive responses, suggesting a mechanism by which chemokin networks may either generate or break the specificity of lymphocyte subset recruitment.

Identification of Chemokines Important for Leukocyte Recruitment to the Human Endometrium at the Times of Embryo Implantation and Menstruation

TL;DR: This is the first study to use an unbiased approach to screen for endometrial chemokines, and it is reported that chemokine mRNA was generally up-regulated during endometrian receptivity and early pregnancy, particularly of macrophage and natural killer chemoattractants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fractalkine (CX3CL1) and Brain Inflammation: Implications for HIV-1-Associated Dementia

TL;DR: Constitutively expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), mainly by neurons, FKN is up-regulated and released in response to proinflammatory stimuli, and up- regulated in the brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid of HAD patients.

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).

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.

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.
