Abstract excerpt
The interaction of chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its functional ligand CXCL12 plays a key role in bone marrow hematopoiesis, neuronal and cardiovascular development, and organization of the immune system. Despite the importance of the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis for regulating hematopoiesis, information on the canine CXCR4 and CXCL12 genes is insufficient. In this present study, we identified the canine counterparts of the...
