Organ-specific features of natural killer cells. [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells can be swiftly mobilized by danger signals and are among the earliest arrivals at target organs of disease. However, the role of NK cells in mounting inflammatory responses is often complex and sometimes paradoxical.

CCR5 Signaling Promotes Murine and Human Hematopoietic Regeneration following Ionizing Radiation
Summary: Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) depend on regulatory cytokines from the marrow microenvironment. From an unbiased cytokine screen of murine marrow supernatants, we identified C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) as an endothelial ...

Interaction between the CCR5 chemokine receptors and microbial HSP70 [PDF]
AbstractEvidence is presented that the microbial 70‐kD heat shock protein (HSP70) binds to CCR5 chemokine receptors in CCR5‐transfected cell lines and in primary human cells. Significant CCR5‐mediated calcium mobilization was stimulated by HSP70 and inhibited with TAK 779, which is a specific CCR5 antagonist.

A 32 base pair deletion in the C-C chemokine receptor type gene (CCR5-Δ32), the main Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) co-receptor results in a non-functional protein. Individuals homozygous for the CCR5-Δ32 mutation are resistant to HIV infection. Here

Mutation of CCR5 Delta 32 in Umbilical Cord Blood Samples: Future Potential for HIV-1 Cure [PDF]
Introduction: Human Immune Deficiency (HIV) virus is a highly mutagenic virus with diverse antigenic types and subtypes. Long latency leading to persistence in infected cell as provirus which poses great problem in developing HIV cure.

Evolution of chemokine receptors is driven by mutations in the sodium binding site.
Chemokines and their receptors (members of the GPCR super-family) are involved in a wide variety of physiological processes and diseases; thus, understanding the specificity of the chemokine receptor family could help develop new receptor specific drugs.

TLR7-mediated skin inflammation remotely triggers chemokine expression and leukocyte accumulation in the brain [PDF]
Background: The relationship between the brain and the immune system has become increasingly topical as, although it is immune-specialised, the CNS is not free from the influences of the immune system.
