by Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich Pathway synopsis (I.) Sterile inflammation triggers the activation of a subset of cDCs, which respond by releasing CCL17. (II.) In turn, CCL17 binds to CCR8 on cDCs (autocrine) and on CD4+ T cells (paracrine) to stimulate an upregulation of CCL3 expression and release. (III.) Subsequently, CCL3 interacts with CCR1 on...
