Novel approaches to increase resistance to acute respiratory infections
Relevance . Respiratory infections are the most common in the world. In order to prevent epidemics, there is a need to improve the strategies for organizing medical care and develop new approaches in order to increase the nonspecific resistance, mobilize

Crucial roles of XCR1-expressing dendritic cells and the XCR1-XCL1 chemokine axis in intestinal immune homeostasis [PDF]
Abstract Intestinal immune homeostasis requires dynamic crosstalk between innate and adaptive immune cells. Dendritic cells (DCs) exist as multiple phenotypically and functionally distinct sub-populations within tissues, where they initiate immune responses and promote homeostasis. In the gut, there exists a minor

Harnessing human cross-presenting CLEC9A+XCR1+ dendritic cells for immunotherapy [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) that play a pivotal role in the induction and regulation of immune responses, including the induction of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses. They are an important focus for the development of vaccines against cancers and many pathogens, including HIV and malaria, where CTL ...

Cross-Presenting XCR1+ Dendritic Cells as Targets for Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]
The use of dendritic cells (DCs) to generate effective anti-tumor T cell immunity has garnered much attention over the last thirty-plus years. Despite this, limited clinical benefit has been demonstrated thus far. There has been a revival of interest in DC-based treatment strategies following the remarkable patient responses observed with novel ...

Dendritic cells (DC) play a crucial role in generating and maintaining antiviral immunity. While DC are implicated in the antiviral defense by inducing T cell responses, they can also become infected by Cytomegalovirus (CMV).

Recent studies have indicated the involvement of chemokine-C-motif ligand 1 (XCL1) in nociceptive transmission; however, the participation of its two receptors, canonical chemokine-C-motif receptor 1 (XCR1) and integrin alpha-9 (ITGA9), recently ...

The Identification and Distribution of Cattle XCR1 and XCL1 among Peripheral Blood Cells: New Insights into the Design of Dendritic Cells Targeted Veterinary Vaccine. [PDF]
The chemokine (C motif) receptor 1 (XCR1) and its ligandXCL1 have been intensively studied in the mouse and human immune systems. Here, we determined the molecular characteristics of cattle XCR1 and XCL1 and their distribution among peripheral blood ...

Cross-presentation of cutaneous melanoma antigen by migratory XCR1+CD103−and XCR1+CD103+dendritic cells [PDF]
The question of which dendritic cells (DCs) cross-present peripheral tumor antigens remains unanswered. We assessed the ability of multiple skin-derived and lymphoid resident DCs to perform this function in a novel orthotopic murine melanoma model where tumor establishment and expansion is within the skin.

Spatially Restricted Translation of the xCR1 mRNA in Xenopus Embryos [PDF]
The xCR1 protein is a maternal determinant and cofactor for nodal signaling in vertebrate embryos. The xCR1 protein accumulates specifically in the animal cells of Xenopus embryos, but maternal xCR1 mRNA is distributed equally throughout all embryonic cells.

Identification of Single C Motif-1/Lymphotactin Receptor XCR1 [PDF]
Single C motif-1 (SCM-1)/lymphotactin is a member of the chemokine superfamily, but retains only the 2nd and 4th of the four cysteine residues conserved in other chemokines. In humans, there are two highly homologous SCM-1 genes encoding SCM-1alpha and SCM-1beta with two amino acid substitutions.
