Table 1.

Mouse chemokines and their receptors. Chemokines can be classified into two major subfamilies differing in the position of two of four highly conserved cysteines. In CXC chemokines, the two N-terminal cysteines are separated by a single amino acid, whereas in CC chemokines these two cysteines are not separated. Exceptions to this classification are chemokines that lack two of the four mentioned cysteines (XC chemokines) and CX3CL1, in which three amino acids separate both cysteines. Alternatively, chemokines can be divided according to their expression patterns. Homeostatic chemokines, for example CCL21 and CXCL13, are expressed constitutively in secondary lymphoid organs, whereas inflammatory chemokines, such as CXCL9/10, are often associated with inflamed tissue.86 No mouse homologues have been found so far for the human chemokines CCL13, CCL14, CCL15, CCL18, CCL23, CXCL8 and the receptors CXCR1 and CXCR3b. Interactions between chemokines and their CKR which are inferred from the human system but not tested directly in the murine system are not shown in this table
