Induction of {gamma}-glutamyl transpeptidase mRNA by aflatoxin B1 and ethoxyquin in rat liver (1987)

Power, Christine A., Griffiths, Susan A., Simpson, Janet L., Laperche, Yannick, Guellaen, Georges, Manson, Margaret M.

We have studied the induction of rat liver γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) mRNA by the antioxidant ethoxyquin and during aflatoxin B1-induced carcinogenesis. Using a rat kidney GGT cDNA probe,...

Enhancement of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection by the CC-Chemokine RANTES Is Independent of the Mechanism of Virus-Cell Fusion

Gordon, Cynthia J., Muesing, Mark A., Proudfoot, Amanda E. I., Power, Christine A., Moore, John P., Trkola, Alexandra

We have studied the effects of CC-chemokines on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, focusing on the infectivity enhancement caused by RANTES. High RANTES concentrations increase...

CXCR4 as a Functional Coreceptor for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infection of Primary Macrophages

Simmons, Graham, Reeves, Jacqueline D., McKnight, Áine, Dejucq, Nathalie, Hibbitts, Sam, Power, Christine A., ...

The coreceptors used by primary syncytium-inducing (SI) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates for infection of primary macrophages were investigated. SI strains using only CXCR4 replicated...

A role for CCR4 in development of mature circulating cutaneous T helper memory cell populations

Baekkevold, Espen S., Wurbel, Marc-André, Kivisäkk, Pia, Wain, Clare M., Power, Christine A., Haraldsen, Guttorm, ...

Expression of the chemokine receptor CCR4 is strongly associated with trafficking of specialized cutaneous memory T helper (Th) lymphocytes to the skin. However, it is unknown whether CCR4 itself...

A Key Role for Cc Chemokine Receptor 4 in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Endotoxic Shock

Chvatchko, Yolande, Hoogewerf, Arlene J., Meyer, Alexandra, Alouani, Sami, Juillard, Pierre, Buser, Raphaele, ...

CC chemokine receptor (CCR)4, a high affinity receptor for the CC chemokines thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), is expressed in the thymus and...

CC Chemokine Receptor (CCR)4 and the CCR10 Ligand Cutaneous T Cell–attracting Chemokine (CTACK) in Lymphocyte Trafficking to Inflamed Skin

Reiss, Yvonne, Proudfoot, Amanda E., Power, Christine A., Campbell, James J., Butcher, Eugene C.

The chemokine thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC; CCL17) is displayed by cutaneous (but not intestinal) venules, and is thought to trigger vascular arrest of circulating skin homing...

A Member of the Dendritic Cell Family That Enters B Cell Follicles and Stimulates Primary Antibody Responses Identified by a Mannose Receptor Fusion Protein

Berney, Claude, Herren, Suzanne, Power, Christine A., Gordon, Siamon, Martinez-Pomares, Luisa, Kosco-Vilbois, Marie H.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are known to activate naive T cells to become effective helper cells. In addition, recent evidence suggests that DCs may influence naive B cells during the initial priming of...

Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide Rapidly Inhibits Expression of C–C Chemokine Receptors in Human Monocytes

Sica, Antonio, Saccani, Alessandra, Borsatti, Alessandro, Power, Christine A., Wells, Timothy N.C., Luini, Walter, ...

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on C–C chemokine receptors (CCR) expressed in human mononuclear phagocytes. LPS caused a rapid and...

Cloning and Characterization of a Specific Receptor for the Novel CC Chemokine MIP-3α from Lung Dendritic Cells

Power, Christine A., Church, Dennis J., Meyer, Alexandra, Alouani, Sami, Proudfoot, Amanda E.I., Clark-Lewis, Ian, ...

Dendritic cells are potent antigen-presenting cells involved in the initiation of immune responses. The trafficking of these cells to tissues and lymph nodes is mediated by members of the chemokine...

Ticks produce highly selective chemokine binding proteins with antiinflammatory activity

Déruaz, Maud, Frauenschuh, Achim, Alessandri, Ana L., Dias, João M., Coelho, Fernanda M., Russo, Remo C., ...

Bloodsucking parasites such as ticks have evolved a wide variety of immunomodulatory proteins that are secreted in their saliva, allowing them to feed for long periods of time without being detected...
