Linked Chromosome 16q13 Chemokines, Macrophage-Derived Chemokine, Fractalkine, and Thymus- and Activation-Regulated Chemokine, Are Expressed in Human Atherosclerotic Lesions

Abstract excerpt

Chemokines are important mediators of macrophage and T-cell recruitment in a number of inflammatory pathologies, and chemokines expressed in atherosclerotic lesions may play an important role in mononuclear cell recruitment and macrophage differentiation. We have analyzed the expression of the linked chromosome 16q13 genes that encode macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC/CCL22), thymus- and activation-regulated...
