Chemokines, Chemokine Receptors and Allergy
International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2001Chemokines are a group of cytokines that are responsible for the influx of blood cells, including T and B lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils, in allergic and other inflammatory conditions. They function as G protein-coupled chemotactic factors which also activate the cells with which they interact.

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors in Scleroderma
International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2006Scleroderma is a connective tissue disease with unknown etiology characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix in the skin. Cellular infiltrates of certain immune cells and proinflammatory mediators are suggested to play a crucial role in cutaneous fibrosis, forming complicated networks between fibroblasts and immune cells via cell-cell

Chemokines and chemokine receptors
2009There is a structural and a functional classification of chemokines. The former includes four groups: CXC, CC, C and CX3C chemokines. There is a redundancy and binding promiscuity between chemokine receptors and their ligands. Recently, a functional classification distinguishing between inflammatory and homeostatic chemokines has been introduced ...

Targeting chemokines and chemokine receptors with antibodies
Drug Discovery Today: Technologies, 2012Chemokines and their receptors are highly interesting therapeutic targets for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In particular, industrial development pipelines are filled with new chemokine-targeting drugs to treat inflammatory diseases and malignancies.

Chemokines, chemokine receptors and pain
Trends in Immunology, 2005Many patients suffer from neuropathic pain as a result of injury to the peripheral nervous system (e.g. post-herpetic neuralgia or diabetic neuropathy) or to the central nervous system (e.g. spinal cord injury or stroke). The most distinctive symptom of neuropathic pain is allodynia, whereby normally non-painful stimuli, such as light touch, become ...

Chemokines and chemokine receptors in renal pathology
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2003Chemokines are members of the largest group of chemotactic cytokines, and were the first shown to be able to engage specific subpopulations of inflammatory cells. Accordingly, our expanding knowledge in chemokine biology has enlarged our understanding of inflammatory cell interactions, lymphopoesis, specificity of cell recruitment, and a variety of ...

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors Encoded by Cytomegaloviruses
2008CMVs carry several genes that are homologous to genes of the host organism. These include genes homologous to those encoding chemokines (CKs) and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It is generally assumed that these CMV genes were hijacked from the host genome during the long co-evolution of virus and host.

Chemokines are a large family of secreted cytokines whose main function is to mediate leukocyte directional migration. Most cancers contain chemokines and express chemokine receptors as a consequence of the activity of deregulated transcription factors or tumor-suppressor genes.

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2001
Chemokines mediate the ingress of leukocytes, including neutrophils and monocytes, into the inflamed synovium. Among the four known chemokine families, C-X-C and C-C chemokines seem to be of outstanding importance in this process. Angiogenesis, the formation of new vessels, is also important in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Chemokines and chemokine receptors in leukocyte trafficking
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2002Chemokines regulate inflammation, leukocyte trafficking, and immune cell differentiation. The role of chemokines in homing of naive T lymphocytes to secondary lymphatic organs is probably the best understood of these processes, and information on chemokines in inflammation, asthma, and neurological diseases is rapidly increasing. Over the past 15 years,
