Chemokines and lipid mediators in inflammation.
Abstract:
Chemoattractants
constitute a diverse range of molecules that include proteins, peptide fragments
and lipids that control the movement of leukocytes in homeostasis and disease.
These molecularly distinct classes of chemoattractants all induce the directed
migration of cells by activating specific G protein-coupled seven transmembrane
spanning receptors expressed on various leukocyte subsets. In this lecture, Dr.
Luster will explore the interrelationship between protein (chemokines) and lipid
(LTB4) mediated leukocyte trafficking in inflammation and disease.
