Serum Levels of CC Chemokine Receptor 4 and CXC Chemokine Receptor 3 Ligands in CD8+ Sézary Syndrome

The CC chemokine 6Ckine binds the CXC chemokine receptor CXCR3.

We cloned the mouse homologue of the chemokine receptor CXCR3, which is located in mouse chromosome X. We screened a large panel of chemokines for their ability to induce a calcium flux in mouse CXCR3-transfected cells and identified a new ligand for this receptor, the recently reported CC chemokine 6Ckine. This represents an example of a CC chemokine, which binds to a CXC chemokine receptor. L...

Peripheral blood-derived CD34+ progenitor cells: CXC chemokine receptor 4 and CC chemokine receptor 5 expression and infection by HIV.

The present study demonstrates cell surface expression of both CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5), major coreceptors for T cell-tropic and macrophage-tropic strains of HIV, respectively, on CD34+ progenitor cells derived from the peripheral blood. CD34+ progenitor cells were susceptible to infection by diverse strains of HIV, and infection could be sustained for...

Signal Transduction by Cxc Chemokine Receptor 4

We report that stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 has the remarkable capacity to induce sustained signaling through CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). In contrast to other chemokines, such as monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (CC chemokine receptor 2 [CCR2]), macrophage inflammatory protein 1beta (CCR5), liver and activation-regulated chemokine (LARC [CCR6]), Epstein-Barr virus-induced molecule 1 ...

Sézary syndrome is an erythrodermic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with haematological evidence of leukemic involvement, which is typically characterized by a monoclonal proliferation of atypical CD4+CD45RO+ lymphocytes
