2. Cytokines and chemokines.

TL;DR: Cytokines are grouped according to those that are mononuclear phagocytic-derived or T-lymphocyte-derived; that mediate cytotoxic (antiviral and anticancer), humoral, cell-mediated, or allergic immunity; and that are immunosuppressive.

Chemokines in pathology and medicine.

TL;DR: The Kessler Institute for Biomedicine and Institute for Research in Biomedicaine in Bellinzona, Switzerland, and Theodor Kocher Institute, University of Bern, are using nanofiltration membranes for the first time to study the role of phosphorous in the immune response to chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian defensins in immunity: more than just microbicidal.

TL;DR: Although showing similarity in activity and overall tertiary structure, the evolutionary relationship between defensins and chemokines remains to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

An alternatively spliced variant of CXCR3 mediates the inhibition of endothelial cell growth induced by IP-10, Mig, and I-TAC, and acts as functional receptor for platelet factor 4.

TL;DR: A distinct, previously unrecognized receptor named CXCR3-B is described, derived from an alternative splicing of the CX CR3 gene that mediates the angiostatic activity of CxCR3 ligands and also acts as functional receptor for CXCL4.
Journal ArticleDOI

A transmembrane CXC chemokine is a ligand for HIV-coreceptor Bonzo.

TL;DR: A protein with the hallmarks of a chemokine, designated CXCL16, that is made by dendritic cells in lymphoid organ T cell zones and by cells in the splenic red pulp is described, indicating roles in thymocyte development and effector T cell trafficking.

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.
