Abstract

CCL21 is originally reported as a CC chemokine mainly expressed in secondary lymphoid tissues. CCL21 can dictate lymphocytes homing in the flow environment,where T cells use integrins stimulated by CCL21 to arrest on endothelial cells,and can act as a chemoattractant for T cells,B cells,mature dentritic cells and natural killer cells strongly. CCL21 can collect activated effector cells and keep them around the tumor. It is also a pivotal molecule for priming T cell responses. Therefore,CCL21 plays a potential role in anti-tumor therapy, and its high expression is responsible for many immune diseases. Key words: Chemokines, CC ; Neoplasms; Autoimmunity
