ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are methods for discovering agonists and antagonists of the interaction between a secreted human protein, chemokine CK.beta.-9, and its cellular receptor, human CCR7, which may have utility in the treatment of several human diseases, including, but not limited to: allergic disorders, autoimmune diseases, ischemia/reperfusion injury, development of atherosclerotic plaques, cancer (including mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells for use in chemotherapy or mycloprotection during chemotherapy), chronic inflammatory disorders, chronic rejection of transplanted organs or tissue grafts, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and infection by HIV and other pathogens.
