Three receptors have a common CC chemokine CCL5 that can signal through them. CCR3 (Combadiere C et al, 1995) is highly expressed in eosinophils and basophils and also found in airway epithelial cells, thus implicating this receptor in allergic reactions. CCR4 (Power CA et al, 1995) is expressed in Th2 T lymphocytes and upregulated by T-cell receptor activation. CCR5 (Samson M et al, 1996) mediates the recruitment of cells involved in immune and inflammatory processes.
