Biological responses to chemokine superfamily members.

Current Protocols in Immunology
D D Taub, Eric Schaffer

Abstract

A detailed summary of all the chemokine subfamily members including alternative names, receptor-ligand pairs, receptor cellular distribution, and leukocyte responsiveness is presented here along with assays to measure the biological activities of chemokines on each of the major leukocyte subsets (i.e., microchemotaxis chambers, fluorescence-based assays, use of nitrocellulose filters and membranes coated with extracellular matrix proteins, cellular adhesion assays, mobilization of intracellular free calcium, actin polymerization, degranulation assays, and the use of chemokine receptor-specific antibodies in flow cytometric analysis and radiolabeled chemokine binding assays).

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
