Mutational analysis of CCL20 reveals flexibility of N-terminal amino acid composition and length.

abstract：:Chemokines regulate the migration and the maturation of dendritic cells (DC) licensed by microbial constituents. We have recently found that the function of DC, including their ability to activate naïve, allogeneic CD4+ T cells, requires the autocrine/paracrine release of the nuclear protein high mobility group box 1 ...
