Abstract excerpt
Chemokine C receptor 7 (CCR7) expression is important for lymphocyte homing to tissues. We hypothesized that CCR7 also plays a role in CD8(+) T-cell protection from apoptosis. Its expression was determined on circulating T cells in patients with cancer and related to that of molecules responsible for lymphocyte susceptibility/resistance to apoptosis. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from 36...
