CCR7

Also found in: Acronyms.

CCR7

A gene on chromosome 17q12-q21.2 that encodes a member of the beta chemokine receptor family, which is similar to G protein-coupled receptors. CCR7 is expressed in various lymphoid tissues and activates B and T lymphocytes. It controls migration of memory T cells to inflamed tissues and stimulates dendritic cell maturation.

Tfh and Th17 cells also differ in the ability to home to different immune microenvironments; while most Tfh cells are [CXCR5.sup.+] and migrate to the secondary lymphoid tissue B cell areas, Th17 cells, when activated, down regulate CCR7 and up regulate CCR6, migrating to the target organs where they exert their effector functions.

CCL21, CCL19, and its receptor CCR7 take part in a series of immunological processes including T cell homeostasis [32], the generation of thy-mocytes [33, 34], regulatory T cell (Treg) function [35-37], and central and peripheral tolerance [38, 39].

However, trogocytosis is characterized by relatively short gene transfer times (72 hours for CCR7 and 2h for CD19) and has so far relied on liver donor cells to reach high expression levels (from 50% to 80% for CCR7 and 19% to 47% for CD19).
