CC and CXC-chemokines are the primary drivers of chemotaxis in inflammation, but chemokine network redundancy thwarts pharmacological intervention. Tick evasins promiscuously bind CC and CXC-chemokines, overcoming redundancy.

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.

Solution Structure of the Human CC Chemokine 2: A Monomeric Representative of the CC Chemokine Subtype, [PDF]
HCC-2, a 66-amino acid residue human CC chemokine, was reported to induce chemotaxis on monocytes, T-lymphocytes, and eosinophils. The three-dimensional structure of HCC-2 has been determined by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and restrained molecular dynamics calculations on the basis of 871 experimental restraints.

HIV protective KIR3DL1/S1-HLA-B genotypes influence NK cell-mediated inhibition of HIV replication in autologous CD4 targets. [PDF]
Carriage of the genetic combination encoding a high expression inhibitory Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptor (KIR)3DL1 with its ligand, HLA-B*57 (*h/*y+B*57) is associated with slower time to AIDS and better HIV viral load control than being a Bw6 ...

Chemokine-induced phosphorylation of CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) [PDF]
Abstract The CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) mediates activation of T lymphocytes and macrophages by chemokines and is a major co-receptor for macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains. Recently, it was shown that the natural CCR5 ligands RANTES, macrophage inflammatory protein-1á (MIP-1á), MIP-1β, and amino-terminal modifications of RANTES (Met ...

The CC chemokine 6Ckine binds the CXC chemokine receptor CXCR3 [PDF]
We cloned the mouse homologue of the chemokine receptor CXCR3, which is located in mouse chromosome X. We screened a large panel of chemokines for their ability to induce a calcium flux in mouse CXCR3-transfected cells and identified a new ligand for this receptor, the recently reported CC chemokine 6Ckine.

Parapoxvirus of red deer in New Zealand (PVNZ) is a species of the Parapoxvirus genus that causes pustular dermatitis. We identified a cluster of genes in PVNZ that encode three unique chemokine-binding proteins (CBPs) namely ORF112.0, ORF112.3 and ...

CC-chemokine receptors: a potential therapeutic target for Trypanosoma cruzi-elicited myocarditis
The comprehension of the pathogenesis of Trypanosoma cruzi-elicited myocarditis is crucial to delineate new therapeutic strategies aiming to ameliorate the inflammation that leads to heart dysfunction, without hampering parasite control.
