Abstract excerpt
RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted) is a T-helper type 1 (Th1) chemokine that promotes T-cell activation and proliferation. RANTES is genetically associated with asthma, sarcoidosis and multiple sclerosis. The concentration of RANTES is increased at inflammation sites in different autoimmune diseases. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a Th1-mediated disease with complex genetic...
