The Scientific World Journal, 2007 Chemokines are a family of polypeptides that direct the migration of leukocytestoward a site of infection. They play a major role in autoimmune disease and chemokine receptors have recently been found to mediate HIV-1 fusion.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 ABSTRACTIn most organs, leukocyte attachment to the endothelium of blood vessels requires capture and rolling before firm adhesion is initiated by integrin activation and/or redistribution, which can be initiated by immobilized chemokines binding their cognate receptors on rolling cells.

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2015 It is now well appreciated that chemokines play a fundamental role in various aspects of CVDs (Figure). Although numerous features of chemokine biology in relation to CVD remain to be elucidated, recent studies including those published i ATVB and highlighted herein have substantially contributed to our current knowledge on chemokines.
