Chemokine receptor 7 knockout attenuates atherosclerotic plaque development.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Both innate immunity and adaptive immunity contribute to atherogenesis, but the mode of interaction is poorly understood. Chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) is critically involved in the transition from innate to adaptive immune activation by coordinating the migration to and positi...
متن کاملThe role of CC chemokine receptor 5 in antiviral immunity.
The CC chemokine receptor CCR5 is an important coreceptor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and there is a major thrust to develop anti-CCR5-based therapies for HIV-1. However, it is not known whether CCR5 is critical for a normal antiviral T-cell response. This study investigated the immune response to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in mice lacking CCR5 (CCR5(-/-) mice). This infecti...
متن کاملCC chemokine receptor 5 and renal-transplant survival.
BACKGROUND About 1% of white populations are homozygous carriers of an allele of the gene for the CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) with a 32 bp deletion (CCR5Delta32), which leads to an inactive receptor. During acute and chronic transplant rejection, ligands for CCR5 are upregulated, and the graft is infiltrated by CCR5-positive mononuclear cells. We therefore investigated the influence of CCR5D...
متن کاملCC chemokine receptor 5 gene polymorphisms in beryllium disease.
CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is expressed on type-1 T-helper cells, which are involved in the pathogenesis of the granulomatous lung disease chronic beryllium disease (CBD). CCR5 gene (CCR5) polymorphisms are associated with sarcoidosis severity. The present study explores associations between CCR5 polymorphisms and CBD and its disease progression. Eight CCR5 polymorphisms were genotyped in C...
متن کاملImpaired Social Behavior in 5-HT3A Receptor Knockout Mice
The 5-HT(3) receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel expressed on interneurons throughout the brain. So far, analysis of the 5-HT(3A) knockout mouse revealed changes in nociceptive processing and a reduction in anxiety related behavior. Recently, it was shown that the 5-HT(3) receptor is also expressed on Cajal-Retzius cells which play a key role in cortical development and that knockout mice lac...
