title = "Role of G-Protein Coupled Receptors in Chemotaxis of Innate Lymphoid Cells",
abstract = "Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a recently identified family of immune cells mostly present at barrier surfaces. They play an important role in the induction, regulation, and resolution of inflammatory responses. Environmental signals play an important role in development and function of ILCs. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) sense and mediate cellular responses to the environmental signals. ILCs express several G-protein coupled receptors, which play a critical role in migration of these cells to appropriate sites. Here, we describe a method to test the migration of ILCs toward 7α,25-hydroxycholesterol, which is mediated by cell surface-expressed GPR183. A similar strategy can be employed to test the role of other GPCRs in mediating the migration of ILCs toward other chemotactic ligands.",
