background chemokines play important roles in immune system activation against microbial infections. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate seminal levels of cxc chemokines cxcl1, cxcl9, cxcl10 and cxcl12 in chlamydia trachomatis infected patients. materials and methods the c. trachomatis infection was determined employing polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-based methods. seminal concentra...

Background: Alopecia Areata (AA) is a non-scarring, autoimmune disorder which causes hair loss. Inflammatory reactions are involved in hair loss of the scalp and/or body. The involvement of chemokine receptors in the pathogenesis of AA is well defined among which, CXCL1 acts on neutrophils and CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL12 and serve as T lymphocytes recruiters. Objective: To study the serum levels o...

The immune system plays an important role in the development of leukemia. CXC chemokines, as the molecular members of this system, are involved in the immune responses. Therefore, this study was designed to examine and compare the levels of CXCL1 (Gro-α), CXCL10 (IP-10) and CXCL12 (SDF-1) in ALL patients prior to and post bone marrow transplantation (BMT). In this experimental study, samples we...

Leukocyte adhesion and transmigration are central features governing immune surveillance and inflammatory reactions in body tissues. Within the liver sinusoids, chemokines initiate the first crucial step of T-cell migration into the hepatic tissue. We studied molecular mechanisms involved in endothelial chemokine supply during hepatic immune surveillance and liver inflammation and their impact ...

Diabetic retinopathy is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus with chemokines playing an important pathogenetic role. However, the studies in lacrimal fluid patients diabetic and type 2 (T2DM) are rarely performed. The aim study was to analyze content suffering from T2DM. When determining concentration fluid, two clinical groups were formed: main group 56 elderly T2DM, contr...

Clinical studies indicate a role of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) for patients with refractory or recurrent B-cell lymphoma (BCL) indicative of a graft-versus-tumor effect. However, the relevance of local immunosuppression in the BCL microenvironment by donor-derived regulatory T cells (Treg) after alloHCT is unclear. Therefore, we studied Treg recruitment after alloHC...
