Abstract excerpt
In a recent study, we demonstrated that glycosaminoglycan (GAG) binding and oligomerization are essential for the in vivo function of the chemokines MCP-1/CCL2, RANTES/CCL5, and MIP-1beta/CCL4 (1). Binding to the GAG chains of cell surface proteoglycans is thought to facilitate the formation of h...
