Chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) is a chemokine released by mainly liver and blood leucocytes. Particularly under pro-inflammatory circumstances it triggers chemotaxis of lymphocytes and dendritic cells via activating receptor chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) that is specific to it. In experimental sepsis models, the chemokine-receptor pair has been identified as a potential pathophysiological axis affecting mortality. ⋯ There were early increased plasma concentrations of CCL20 and CCR6 in patients with sepsis. CCL20 and CCR6 correlate with severity of illness in ICU patients. Levels of CCR6 predicted the length of patients' admission.
