Abstract excerpt
CCR2, and its principle ligand MCP-1/CCL2, have been well documented for their ability to induce monocyte infiltration and promote the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis. In order to assess additional roles for CCR2, we inserted allogeneic implants into CCR2-/- and MCP-1-/- mice and characterized T cell responses and the regulatory role of CCR2 on MCP-1 expression. The results demonstrate a...
