Chemokines, chemokine receptors and allergy

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology
A P Kaplan

Abstract

Chemokines are a group of cytokines that are responsible for the influx of blood cells, including T and B lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils, in allergic and other inflammatory conditions. They function as G protein-coupled chemotactic factors which also activate the cells with which they interact. Certain chemokines function within the afferent arm of the immune system, in which antigen is processed and antibody formation initiated, and others are active within the effector pathways of cellular immunity and late-phase allergic reactions. Th2 lymphocytes, which are critical for allergy, employ the CC chemokine receptors CCR4 and CCR8 with the ligands thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) and I-309, respectively. The chemokine receptor CCR3 and ligands monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-3, MCP-4, regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) and eotaxins I and II are of particular relevance for the recruitment and activation of eosinophils. Th1 reactions depend upon interferon gamma-induced CXC chemokines interferon- inducible protein (IP)-10, interferon-inducible T cell-alpha chemoattractant (iTAC) and monokine induced by i...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Basophils

Basophils are myeloid cells with a high affinity IgE receptor and is involved in inflammatory responses during allergy. Discover the latest research on Basophils here.
