MIP-3 beta acts as a chemoattractant for T and B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, NK cells and myeloid progenitor cells, through specific binding to CCR7, a G-protein coupled receptor known to be up-regulated by Epstein-Barr virus infected B cells and Herpes virus infected T cells. A correlation between the response to MIP-3 beta and the level of CCR7 expression and has been revealed in the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), and increased levels of both MIP-3 beta and CCR7 expression have been shown in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and BALF cells from patients with the granulomatous disorder sarcoidosis, associated predominantly with CD4+ T lymphocyte alveolitis, and hence T cell recruitment.
