Chemokines are a family of small, highly conserved cytokines that mediate various
biological processes, including chemotaxis, hematopoiesis, and angiogenesis, and that …

The phage display technology is based on the presentation of peptide sequences on the
surface of virions of bacteriophages. Its development led to creation of sophisticated systems …

Chemokines (chemotactic cytokines) and their receptors are critical to recruitment and
positioning of cells during development and the immune response. The chemokine system …

Chemoattractant cytokines, or chemokines, are the largest sub-family of cytokines. About 50
distinct chemokines have been identified in humans. Their principal role is to stimulate the …

To prolong residence on their hosts, ticks secrete many salivary factors that target host
defense molecules. In particular, the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus has been shown to …

Chemokines (chemotactic cytokines) are a family of proteins that mediate recruitment and
precise positioning of leukocytes in different anatomical locations, and as such are central to …

Ticks are hematophagous arachnids that parasitize mammals and other hosts, feeding on
their blood. Ticks secrete numerous salivary factors that enhance host blood flow or …

Ticks, particularly hard ticks (Ixodidae), which are among the most important vectors of
dangerous infectious agents, feed on their hosts for extended periods of time. With this …

Blood-sucking parasites, such as ticks, remain attached to their hosts for relatively long
periods of time in order to obtain their blood meal without eliciting an immune response. One …

Chemokines function via G-protein coupled receptors in a robust network to recruit immune
cells to sites of inflammation. Due to the complexity of this network, targeting single …
