Receptors that regulate cell signaling relating to chemokines (U.S. Patent Number 6,365,356)

A method for discovering molecules that regulate cell signaling specific to the dual presence of Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC) and a chemokine receptor selected from the group consisting of a CXC receptor, a CC receptor and a CXXXC receptor, the method comprising providing a cell that co-expresses DARC and the chemokine receptor; incubating the molecules with the cell; measuring the cell signaling in the cell specific to the dual presence of DARC and the chemokine receptor; and determining whether the cell signaling specific to the dual presence of DARC and the chemokine receptor is regulated by the molecules.
