Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors Encoded by Cytomegaloviruses

2008
CMVs 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 and chemokine receptors in renal pathology

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2003
Chemokines 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 in infectious diseases

Immunology & Cell Biology, 1999
Today, 10 years after the discovery of IL‐8, chemokines (chemotactic cytokines) are seen as the stimuli that largely control leucocyte migration. Chemokines are low molecular weight chemoattractant cytokines secreted by a variety of cells, including leucocytes, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and numerous other cell types.

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors

2001
The 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

2009
There 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 ...

Chemokine sequestration by atypical chemokine receptors

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2006
Leucocyte migration is essential for robust immune and inflammatory responses, and plays a critical role in many human diseases. Chemokines, a family of small secreted protein chemoattractants, are of fundamental importance in this process, directing leucocyte trafficking by signalling through heptahelical G-protein-coupled receptors expressed by the ...

Chemokine Receptors and Chemokines in HIV Infection

Journal of Clinical Immunology, 1998
Suppression 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 and chemokine receptors in leukocyte trafficking

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2002
Chemokines 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,

Recent Advances in Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors

Critical Reviews™ in Immunology, 1999
Chemokines are a superfamily of small cytokine-like molecules which have been described primarily on the basis of their ability to mediate the migration of verious cell types, particularly those of lymphoid origin. The receptors for these molecules are all seven-transmembrane domain G protein-coupled receptors that have historically been excellent ...

Chemokines and chemokine receptors in inflammation of the CNS

Expert Review of Clinical Immunology, 2005
Chemokines are small chemotactic cytokines involved in numerous biologic and pathologic processes. They are important mediators of leukocyte trafficking, development of inflammation, tumor metastasis and immune cell differentiation. Inflammation in the CNS develops in a unique manner that is partially due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier ...
