Chemokine CCL4 Induced in Mouse Brain Has a Protective Role against Methylmercury Toxicity
Methylmercury (MeHg) is selectively toxic to the central nervous system, but mechanisms related to its toxicity are poorly understood. In the present study, we identified the chemokine, C-C motif Chemokine Ligand 4 (CCL4), to be selectively upregulated ...

The Ins and Outs of Chemokine-Mediated Immune Cell Trafficking in Skin Cancer
Recent studies of the patterns of chemokine-mediated immune cell recruitment into solid tumors have enhanced our understanding of the role played by various immune cell subsets both in amplifying and inhibiting tumor cell growth and spread.

Macrophage transactivation for chemokine production identified as a negative regulator of granulomatous inflammation using agent-based modeling [PDF]
Cellular activation in trans by interferons, cytokines and chemokines is a commonly recognized mechanism to amplify immune effector function and limit pathogen spread. However, an optimal host response also requires that collateral damage associated with

CCR8 leads to eosinophil migration and regulates neutrophil migration in murine allergic enteritis [PDF]
Allergic enteritis (AE) is a gastrointestinal form of food allergy. This study aimed to elucidate cellular and molecular mechanisms of AE using a murine model. To induce AE, BALB/c wild type (WT) mice received intraperitoneal sensitization with ovalbumin
