Chemokine Biology—Basic Research and Clinical Application gives a state-of-the-art account of recent developments in the form of summaries written by highly regarded expers.

Chemokine Biology—Basic Research and Clinical Application is focused on basic principles and progress in chemokine biology.

It is divided into two parts:

1. cellular targets in innate and adaptive immunity
2. effector cell traffic-unrelated functions

Contents

Cellular Targets in Innate and Adaptive Immunity

1. Traffic of T lymphocytes
2. Lymphocyte homing to peripheral epithelial tissues
3. Chemokine biology of NK-cells and gd T cells
4. Dendritic cell traffic control by chemokines
5. Chemokine receptor-mediated signal transduction
6. Chemokines in leukocyte transendothelial migration
7. Natural chemokine antagonism and synergism

Effector Cell Traffic-Unrelated Functions

8. Crosstalk between chemokine, opioid and vanilloid receptors
9. Antimicrobial and related activities of chemokines
10. Virus-encoded chemokine modulators as novel anti-inflammatory reagents
11. Chemokine receptors in tissue cells and angiogenesis
