Welcome to Keele Repository

The Keele Repository is intended to be an Open Access showcase for the published research output of the university. Whenever possible, refereed documents accepted for publication, or finished artistic compositions presented in public, will be made available here in full digital format, and hyperlinks to standard published versions will be provided.

Potential role for monocyte chemotactic protein-4 (MCP-4) in monocyte/macrophage recruitment in acute renal inflammation (2001)
Journal Article

The CC chemokine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-4 (MCP-4), is an important chemoattractant for monocytes and T cells. Recent data indicate a role in renal inflammation. This study has used in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis of...

Chemoattraction of T cells expressing CCR5, CXCR3 and CX3CR1 by proximal tubular epithelial cell chemokines (2002)
Journal Article

Background. Chemokines produced by resident renal cells promote the infiltration of leukocyte subsets. We have analysed the chemotactic responses of CD3+ peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) to factors secreted by proximal tubular epithelial cells (PT...

Fractalkine expression on human renal tubular epithelial cells: potential role in mononuclear cell adhesion (2002)
Journal Article

Fractalkine (CX3CL1) is a transmembrane molecule with a CX3C chemokine domain attached to an extracellular mucin stalk which can induce both adhesion and migration of leucocytes. Mononuclear cell infiltration at renal tubular sites and associated tub... Read More about Fractalkine expression on human renal tubular epithelial cells: potential role in mononuclear cell adhesion.
