Abstract excerpt
The attraction of leukocytes to tissues is essential for inflammation and the initiation of the autoimmune reaction. The process is controlled by chemokines, which are chemotactic cytokines. We investigated whether human chemokine receptor gene polymorphisms, namely CCR5-Delta32 and CCR2-64I, are...
