Evolutionary diversity of CXCL16 <i>-</i> CXCR6: Convergent Substitutions and Recurrent Gene Loss in Sauropsids
2024-09-24
Abstract excerpt
The CXCL16-CXCR6 axis is crucial for regulating the persistence of CD8 tissue-resident memory T-cells (T RM ). CXCR6 deficiency lowers T RM cell numbers in the lungs and depletes ILC3s in the lamina propria, impairing mucosal defence. This axis is linked to diseases like HIV/SIV, cancer, and COVID-19. Together, these highlight that the CXCL16-CXCR6 axis is pivotal in host immunity. Previous studies of the CXCL16...
