ReceptorLigandsCellular distributionRole in migrationReference

CCR1MIP-1 /CCL9Immature DCsMay be involved in human peripheral blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells migration[42]

CCR2CCL2/MCP-1Immature
mature DCs
Recruitment of circulating blood DCs and monocytes to inflamed tissue[43]

CCR3Eotaxin
eotaxin-2
Immature DCs
mature DCs
May be involved in dendritic cells migration[42, 44]

CCR5 MIP-1 /CCL3
MIP-1 /CCL4
Rantes/CCL5
Immature DCs
mature DCs
Attract DCs to migrate cross the human intestinal epithelium and sample luminal virions[45]
May contribute to the recruitment of blood myeloid DC to cerebrospinal fluid in multiple sclerosis patients and acute optic neuritis.[46]
May be involved in the altered homing of blood DCs during the alloimmune response[47]

CCR6 CCL20/MIP-3 pDCsMay be involved in leukemic pDCs and blood pDCs from melanoma patients recruitment to lesions of skin[48, 49]
Recruitment of circulating blood DCs and monocytes to inflamed tissue[43]
