Homing chemokines in rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: Comment on recent studies highlighting the importance of chemokines in rheumatoid arthritis, in particular of B-cell-activating chemokine-1 in lymphoid neogenesis in the inflamed synovium, and growing evidence indicates thatChemokines and their receptors control the recruitment and positioning of leukocytes as well as their organization into node-like lymphoid structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

T cell infiltration and chemokine expression: relevance to the disease localization in murine graft-versus-host disease.

TL;DR: The chemokine spectrum in target/non-target organs of mice with acute GVHD was investigated and it was found that in the spleen and liver MIP-1α, Mip-2 and Mig were the predominant chemokines expressed, and in another target organ, the skin, M ip-1 α, M IP-2, M CP-1 and MCP-3 were all highly expressed.

A Soluble Chemokine-Binding Protein from Vaccinia Virus Reduces Virus Virulence and the Inflammatory Response to Infection

TL;DR: expression of vCCI attenuated the virus in a murine intranasal model, characterized by reduced mortality and weight loss, decreased virus replication and spread, and a reduced recruitment of inflammatory cells into the lungs of VV-infected mice, suggesting that vCCi plays an important role in regulating leukocyte trafficking to the lungs during VV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory mediators and skeletal muscle injury: a DNA microarray analysis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that chemokines, such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), associated with monocyte/macrophage influx and activation, are abundantly expressed in postinjured muscle, and they might play a role in traumatic muscle injury/recovery processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancement of anti‐tumor immunity by tumor cells transfected with the secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine EBI‐1‐ligand chemokine and stromal cell–derived factor‐1αchemokine genes

TL;DR: Findings show that SLC, ELC and SDF‐1α enhance anti‐tumor immunity both systemically and locally and that these chemokines may be clinically useful, especially when combined with IL‐2 and GM‐CSF.

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.

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.
