Description
Chemokines are major mediators of immune cells and are involved in a wide range of proinflammatory human diseases, including rheumatoid
arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and organ transplant rejection. It has recently been discovered that their receptors are involved in HIV
infection. The characterization of these molecules and their receptors is thus of primary importance in understanding a number of human
diseases and infections. This volume and its companion
Volume 288 on
Chemokine Receptors provide comprehensive
experimental protocols used in this field of research.
