TNF-alpha microinjection upregulates chemokines and chemokine receptors in the central nervous system without inducing leukocyte infiltrationAndrzej R Glabinski
Department of Neurology, Medical University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland
J Interferon Cytokine Res 23:457-66. 2003..This observation shows that upregulation of chemokines by TNF-alpha is not sufficient to cause accumulation of leukocytes in the CNS parenchyma in both strains of mice...
Monocyte recruitment and myelin removal are delayed following spinal cord injury in mice with CCR2 chemokine receptor deletionManhong Ma
Department of Physiology and Cell Biology, College of Medicine and Public Health, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA
J Neurosci Res 68:691-702. 2002..Together, these results indicate that chemokines acting through CCR2 contribute to the early recruitment of monocytes to the lesion epicenter following SCI...
