Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the possibility that a novel alpha-helix-defective mutant of stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) (SDF-1/54R) acts as an antagonist of CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). METHODS: According to the genetic sequence of natural SDF-1alpha, a recombinant alpha-helix-defec...
