Abstract

Upon exposure to immune or inflammatory stimuli, dendritic cells (DC) migrate from peripheral tissues to lymphoid organs, where they present Ag. CC chemokines induce chemotactic and transendothelial migration of immature DC, in vitro. Maturation of DC by CD40L, or by LPS, IL-1, and TNF, induces down- regulation of the two main CC chemokine receptors expressed by these cells, CCR1 and CCR5, and abrogates chemotaxis to their ligands. Inhibition was rapid (
