Chemokines, chemokine receptors and hematopoiesis
Immunological Reviews, 2000Hematopoiesis during steady state conditions is regulated and finely tuned by a network of cytokines and their effects on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and on accessory cells that influence the stem and progenitor cells. Amongst the numerous cytokines implicated in this regulation are members of the CC, CXC and C family of chemokines.

Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2001
Although chemokines were originally defined as host defense proteins it is now clear that their repertoire of functions extend well beyond this role. For example chemokines such as MGSA have growth regulatory properties while members of the CXC chemokine family can be mediators or inhibitors of angiogenesis and may be important targets for oncology ...

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors
2001The recruitment of cells to sites of inflammation is an essential component of the host inflammatory response. Cell recruitment relies on the coordinated action of cell activation, cell adhesion, chemoattraction, and transmigration across the endothelial barrier.

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors
1999Classic chemoattractants include complement components, formyl peptides and leukotriene B4. In addition, various cytokines are able to elicit directional migration of leukocytes. While molecules such as monocyte-colony stimulating factor or tumor necrosis factor also exert chemotactic activity, the main chemotactic cytokines are a superfamily of ...

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 ...

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.

Chemokine–Chemokine Receptors in Cancer Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy, 2008A surge in interest in the chemokine-chemokine receptor network is probably related to the expanding roles that chemokines have now been identified to play in human biology, particularly immunity. Specific tissue microenvironments express distinct chemokines and both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells have receptor expression profiles that permit

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

Chemokine Receptors and Chemokines in HIV Infection
Journal of Clinical Immunology, 1998Suppression of HIV by chemokines represents a special case in virology and immunology where soluble molecules other than antibodies inhibit infection by a specific virus. The basis for this inhibition is that HIV has evolved to use certain chemokine receptors as "coreceptors" for entry into host cells.

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 ...
