Novel lymphocyte-specific CC chemokines and their receptors [PDF]
Abstract By using a cloning method termed the signal sequence trap as well as by searching for chemokine homologous sequences in the database of expressed sequence tags, cDNA fragments potentially encoding novel CC chemokines were initially identified. Using these sequences, we have cloned five novel human CC chemokines termed TARC, LARC,

The CC Chemokine Eotaxin (CCL11) Is a Partial Agonist of CC Chemokine Receptor 2b [PDF]
Despite sharing considerable homology with the members of the monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) family, the CC chemokine eotaxin (CCL11) has previously been reported to signal exclusively via the receptor CC chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3). Using the monocyte cell line THP-1, we investigated the relative abilities of eotaxin and MCPs 1-4 to induce ...

CC Chemokine Receptor 5: The Interface of Host Immunity and Cancer [PDF]
Solid tumors are embedded in a stromal microenvironment consisting of immune cells, such as macrophages and lymphocytes, as well as nonimmune cells, such as endothelial cells and fibroblasts.

Analysis of CC chemokine and chemokine receptor expression in solid ovarian tumours [PDF]
To understand the chemokine network in a tissue, both chemokine and chemokine receptor expression should be studied. Human epithelial ovarian tumours express a range of chemokines but little is known about the expression and localisation of chemokine receptors. With the aim of understanding chemokine action in this cancer, we investigated receptors for

CXC and CC Chemokine Receptors on Coronary and Brain Endothelia [PDF]
Chemokine receptors on leukocytes play a key role in inflammation and HIV-1 infection. Chemokine receptors on endothelia may serve an important role in HIV-1 tissue invasion and angiogenesis.The expression of chemokine receptors in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and coronary artery endothelial cells (CAEC) in vitro and cryostat ...

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis of CC-chemokines [PDF]
Chemokines are chemotactic proteins which play a central role in immune and inflammatory responses. Chemokine receptors are members of the seven transmembrane G-protein coupled family and have recently been shown to be involved in the entry of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into target cells.

Closely related, yet unique: Distinct homo- and heterodimerization patterns of G protein coupled chemokine receptors and their fine-tuning by cholesterol. [PDF]
Chemokine receptors, a subclass of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), play essential roles in the human immune system, they are involved in cancer metastasis as well as in HIV-infection.

STRL22 Is a Receptor for the CC Chemokine MIP-3α [PDF]
STRL22 is a human seven transmembrane domain orphan receptor related to known chemokine receptors and expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and lymphoid tissues. MIP-3alpha/LARC/Exodus is a CC chemokine that is chemotactic for lymphocytes and that is expressed in activated cells, including monocytes, T cells ...

Background: The studies reported that chemokines Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) and Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) have tumor-promoting roles in breast cancer (BC).
