Cloning and characterization of SDF‐1γ, a novel SDF‐1 chemokine transcript with developmentally regulated expression in the nervous system
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
The cytokines SDF-1alpha and -1beta are two alternatively spliced variants of the CXC (alpha) chemokines that are highly conserved among species. SDF-1alpha was shown to function as a B-cell maturation factor, a ligand for the CXCR4 (LESTR/fusin) chemokine receptor, thereby inhibiting replication of T cell-tropic HIV-1 strains and inducing cell death in human neuronal cell lines. In this report the cloning of the...
