Monocyte chemotactic proteins in allergen-induced inflammation in the nasal mucosa: effect of topical corticosteroids.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human allergen-induced rhinitis is associated with the recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells, particularly eosinophils and CD4(+) T cells, in the nasal mucosa. Chemokines are inflammatory mediators capable of attracting specific inflammatory cell populations. Monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs), a subfamily of CC chemokines, have been shown to induce chemotactic activity particularly in...
