A high endothelial venule-expressing promiscuous chemokine receptor DARC can bind inflammatory, but not lymphoid, chemokines and is dispensable for lymphocyte homing under physiological conditions.

TL;DR: It is shown that DARC is selectively expressed at the mRNA and protein levels in the high endothelial venules (HEV) of unstimulated lymph nodes (LN) and that it is probably functionally dispensable for lymphocyte trafficking to HEV-bearing lymphoid tissues under physiological conditions.

Eotaxin-3/CCL26 Is a Natural Antagonist for CC Chemokine Receptors 1 and 5 A HUMAN CHEMOKINE WITH A REGULATORY ROLE

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that eotaxin-3 acts as a natural antagonist on CCR1 and -5 as well, suggesting that it may have a modulatory rather than an inflammatory function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Post-translational control of chemokines: a role for decoy receptors?

TL;DR: A number of key chemokine regulators that exert their influence once these proteins have been synthesised are discussed, including storage, release, and presentation, protease regulation, viral manipulation of host chemokines, and natural mammalian receptor antagonists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of CXCR4 chemokine receptor blockade using AMD3100 for mobilization of autologous hematopoietic progenitor cells.

TL;DR: AMD3100 appears to be a promising agent for HPC mobilization and has been tested in several clinical trials which demonstrate that it improves the number of CD34+ cells mobilized including patients failing to mobilize with G-CSF alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Chemokine Network in the Development and Progression of Ovarian Cancer: A Potential Novel Pharmacological Target

TL;DR: The current biology of CXCL12/CXCR4 axis is focused on in the context of understanding their potential role in ovarian cancer development.

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.
