IFN-{gamma}-inducible expression of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine/CCL17 and macrophage-derived chemokine/CCL22 in epidermal keratinocytes and their roles in atopic dermatitis (2002)

Horikawa, Tatsuya, Nakayama, Takashi, Hikita, Ichiro, Yamada, Hidekazu, Fujisawa, Ryuichi, Bito, Toshinori, ...

Thymus and activation‐regulated chemokine (TARC)/CCL17 and macrophage‐derived chemokine (MDC)/CCL22 are a pair of CC chemokines known to selectively attract Th2 type memory T cells...

Human CC chemokine liver-expressed chemokine/CCL16 is a functional ligand for CCR1, CCR2 and CCR5, and constitutively expressed by hepatocytes (2001)

Nomiyama, Hisayuki, Hieshima, Kunio, Nakayama, Takashi, Sakaguchi, Tomonori, Fujisawa, Ryuichi, Tanase, Sumio, ...

Liver-expressed chemokine (LEC)/CCL16 is a human CC chemokine selectively expressed in the liver. Here, we investigated its receptor usage by calcium mobilization and chemotactic assays using mouse...

Inducible expression of a CC chemokine liver- and activation-regulated chemokine (LARC)/macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-3{{alpha}}/CCL20 by epidermal keratinocytes and its role in atopic dermatitis (2001)

Nakayama, Takashi, Fujisawa, Ryuichi, Yamada, Hidekazu, Horikawa, Tatsuya, Kawasaki, Hiroshi, Hieshima, Kunio, ...

Liverand activation-regulated chemokine (LARC)/macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-3α/CCL20 is a CC chemokine which is constitutively expressed by follicle-associated epithelial cells in the...

Proinflammatory cytokines induce liver and activation-regulated chemokine/macrophage inflammatory protein-3{alpha}/CCL20 in mucosal epithelial cells through NF-{kappa}B (2001)

Fujiie, Satoru, Hieshima, Kunio, Izawa, Dai, Nakayama, Takashi, Fujisawa, Ryuichi, Ohyanagi, Harumasa, ...

Liver and activation-regulated chemokine (LARC)/CCL20 is expressed by surface-lining epithelial and epidermal cells, and is likely to link innate and acquired immunity by attracting immature...

The Neuroinvasiveness of a Murine Retrovirus Is Influenced by a Dileucine-Containing Sequence in the Cytoplasmic Tail of Glycosylated Gag

Fujisawa, Ryuichi, McAtee, Frank J., Wehrly, Kathy, Portis, John L.

The tempo and intensity of retroviral neuropathogenesis are dependent on the capacity of the virus to invade the central nervous system. For murine leukemia viruses, an important determinant of...

Establishment of Monoclonal Anti-Retroviral gp70 Autoantibodies from MRL/lpr Lupus Mice and Induction of Glomerular gp70 Deposition and Pathology by Transfer into Non-Autoimmune Mice

Tabata, Nobutada, Miyazawa, Masaaki, Fujisawa, Ryuichi, Takei, Yumiko A., Abe, Hiroyuki, Hashimoto, Keiji

Several strains of mice, including MRL/MpJ mice homozygous for the Fas mutant lpr gene (MRL/lpr mice), F1 hybrids of New Zealand Black and New Zealand White mice, and BXSB/MpJ mice carrying a...

N-Terminal Cleavage Fragment of Glycosylated Gag Is Incorporated into Murine Oncornavirus Particles

Fujisawa, Ryuichi, McAtee, Frank J., Favara, Cynthia, Hayes, Stanley F., Portis, John L.

Glycosylated Gag (Glycogag) is a transmembrane protein encoded by murine and feline oncornaviruses. While the protein is dispensible for virus replication, Glycogag-null mutants of a neurovirulent...

Human B Cells Immortalized with Epstein-Barr Virus Upregulate CCR6 and CCR10 and Downregulate CXCR4 and CXCR5

Nakayama, Takashi, Fujisawa, Ryuichi, Izawa, Dai, Hieshima, Kunio, Takada, Kenzo, Yoshie, Osamu

Compared to peripheral blood resting B cells, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-immortalized B cells consistently express CCR6 and CCR10 at high levels and CXCR4 and CXCR5 at low levels. Accordingly, these...
