The multifaceted role of XCL1 in health and disease. [PDF]
The chemokine XC motif chemokine ligand 1 (XCL1) is an unusually specialized member of a conserved family of around 50 small, secreted proteins that are best known for their ability to stimulate the directional migration of cells.

Resurrected Ancestors Reveal Origins of Metamorphism in XCL1 [PDF]
In a recent study, Dishman et al. resurrected ancestors of the metamorphic chemokine, XCL1, inferred through phylogenetics, and found that metamorphism arose in the XCL1 lineage ~150 million years ago.

Developing an Effective Therapeutic HPV Vaccine to Eradicate Large Tumors by Genetically Fusing Xcl1 and Incorporating IL-9 as Molecular Adjuvants [PDF]
Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prevalent infection affecting both men and women, leading to various cytological lesions. Therapeutic vaccines mount a HPV-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte response, thus clearing HPV-infected cells ...

Immunogenicity of the Xcl1-SARS-CoV-2 Spike Fusion DNA Vaccine for COVID-19
SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) variants that may evade antibody-mediated immunity are emerging. Evidence shows that vaccines with a stronger immune response are still effective against mutant strains. Here, we report a targeted type 1 conventional dendritic (cDC1)

Efficacy and immunomodulatory effect of Claudin18.2-specific IL-7/XCL1 armored CAR-T cells in digestive tract cancer: preclinical and clinical analysis. [PDF]
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy exerts limited therapeutic efficacy in solid tumors including digestive tract cancer (DTC), which is largely attributable to the suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and the functional deficits of CAR-T ...

In Situ Engineering of Tumor Cells as Self‐Sustaining cDC1 Programming Factories for Effective Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]
Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) play a crucial role in initiating and regulating antitumor immunity. However, the insufficient infiltration and dysfunctional state of these cells within the tumor microenvironment hinder antitumor immune ...

The CD8-derived chemokine XCL1/lymphotactin is a conformation-dependent, broad-spectrum inhibitor of HIV-1. [PDF]
CD8+ T cells play a key role in the in vivo control of HIV-1 replication via their cytolytic activity as well as their ability to secrete non-lytic soluble suppressive factors.
