Chemokines represent a family of over 40 small proteins that, for the most part, are secreted into the environment and function by binding to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are expressed on numerous different cell types.

Nanotechnology is a collective term describing a broad range of relatively novel topics. Nanotechnology seeks to mimic what nature has achieved, with precision at the nanometer level down to the atomic level. Bacterial viruses (bacte- ophages), plant and animal eukaryotic viruses, and viruses of archaea have all been characterized in this manner.
