Abstract
Chemokines are a large superfamily of approximately 50 peptides. Although they are involved in diverse processes, their central and defining role in mammals appears to be action toward subpopulations of leukocytes (1). This specificity is mediated by selective expression of chemokine receptors, heptahelical G-protein coupled membrane molecules. With time and further study, chemokines have now been implicated in developmental organogenesis, angiogenesis, neoplasia, differentiation, and a host of other physiological and pathological processes (2, 3). Considerable interest has been sparked by the discovery that several chemokine receptors are essential invasion coreceptors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and HIV-2 infection of human cells (4, 5).
