Abstract:To fulfil their orchestrating function in immune cell trafficking in homeostasis and disease, a network of 49 chemokines and 23 receptors capitalizes on features of specificity, redundancy, and functional selectivity such as biased agonism. The discovery of the chemokine interactome, i.e. heteromeric chemokine-chemokine interactions, even across CC- and CXC-class borders, has further expanded the complexity within the network. Moreover, some inflammatory mediators, which are not structurally linked to classica… Show more
