Chemokines constitute a family of chemoattractant cytokines and are subdivided into four
families on the basis of the number and spacing of the conserved cysteine residues in the N …

Introduction: Chemokines play important roles in inflammation and in immune responses.
This article will discuss the current literature on the C–C chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5), and …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial for mounting allergic airway inflammation, but it is unclear
which subset of DCs performs this task. By using CD64 and MAR-1 staining, we reliably …

Eosinophils have been considered end-stage cells involved in host protection against
parasites. However, numerous lines of evidence have now changed this perspective by …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is cause of the novel
coronavirus disease (COVID-19). In the last two years, SARS-CoV-2 has infected millions of …

Interleukin (IL)-13 is a pleiotropic cytokine produced in large quantities by activated CD4+
Th2 lymphocytes. To define further its potential in vivo effector functions, the Clara cell 10 …

Circulating blood monocytes supply peripheral tissues with macrophage and dendritic cell
(DC) precursors and, in the setting of infection, also contribute directly to immune defense …

Since the pioneering work of Gowans and colleagues in the 1960s, 1, 2 much progress has
been made in understanding the pivotal role of cell migration in immunity. We now have …

We examine here several diseases that are associated with inappropriate activation of the
chemokine network. Detailed comment has been restricted to pathological states for which …

Eosinophils are pleiotropic multifunctional leukocytes involved in initiation and propagation
of diverse inflammatory responses, as well as modulators of innate and adaptive immunity …
