A chemokine, stromal cell-derived factor/pre-B-cell growth-stimulating factor (SDF-1/PBSF),
and its primary physiologic receptor, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), are essential for
B-lymphocyte production and colonization of bone marrow by myeloid lineage progenitors
during embryogenesis. Moreover, CXCR4 is an autonomous cell essential for long-term
lymphoid and myeloid reconstitution in adult bone marrow. Upregulation of CXCR4
expression may be useful for improving engraftment of repopulating stem cells in clinical …
