Chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha activates basophils by means of CXCR4

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

The CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is predominantly expressed on inactivated naive T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and endothelial cells. CXC chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha (SDF-1alpha) is the only known ligand for CXCR4. To date, the CXCR4 expression and function of SDF-1alpha in basophils are unknown.
