Reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection in TNF-deficient mice.

TL;DR: Exogenous TNF is critical to maintain latent tuberculosis infection, and in its absence no specific immunity is generated, and despite a massive reduction of the mycobacterial load by chemotherapy, TNF-deficient mice were unable to compensate and mount a protective immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral Inflammatory Diseases and Systemic Inflammation: Role of the Macrophage

TL;DR: The objective is to identify macrophage-mediated events central to the inflammatory basis of chronic diseases, with an emphasis on how control of macrophages function can be used to prevent or treat harmful outcomes linked to uncontrolled inflammation.

Involvement of chemokine receptors in organ-specific metastasis.

TL;DR: Many studies have now validated the concept that chemokines and their receptors influence metastasis, and the potential therapeutic importance of these observations depends on the role that each metastatic destination such as liver, lung, bone marrow, etc., plays in the prognosis of a cancer patient.

Differential Roles of CC Chemokine Ligand 2/Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 and CCR2 in the Development of T1 Immunity

TL;DR: CCR2 (but not CCL2) is required for afferent T1 development in the lymph nodes, but in the absence of CCR2, T1 cells polarize in the LALN, but do not traffic from the lymph node to the lungs, resulting in a pulmonary T2 response.

Mast Cell Chemotaxis – Chemoattractants and Signaling Pathways

TL;DR: The major types of chemoattractants recognized by mast cells, their target receptors, as well as signaling pathways they utilize are discussed.

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.
