Interleukin 8, the first chemokine to be characterized, was discovered nearly ten years ago.
Today, more than 30 human chemokines are known. They are often upregulated in …

Chemokines are small peptides that are potent activators and chemoattractants for leukocyte
subpopulations and some nonhemopoietic cells. Their actions are mediated by a family of 7 …

Chemokines, or chemotactic cytokines, and their receptors have been discovered as
essential and selective mediators in leukocyte migration to inflammatory sites and to …

Previous reports strongly suggest that, in addition to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor,
rabies virus can use other, as-yet-unidentified receptors. We found that laboratory cell lines …

The chemokine SDF-1 (CXCL12) and its receptor CXCR4 are involved in regulation of
migration, survival, and development of multiple cell types, including human hematopoietic …

Regulation of the availability of chemokine SDF-1 (CXCL12) in bone marrow is still not fully
understood. Here we describe a unique function for the chemokine receptor CXCR4 …

Chemokines belong to an expanding family of cytokines the primary function of which is
recruitment of leukocytes to inflammatory sites. Recent evidence has shown their presence …

The chemokine receptor CCR5 has recently been described as a co-receptor for
macrophage-tropic strains of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. In this study, using a …

Chemokines are a superfamily of pro-inflammatory polypeptide cytokines that selectively
attract and activate different cell types. Many patho-physiological conditions require the …
