Cattle and chemokines: evidence for species‐specific evolution of the bovine chemokine system

Abstract excerpt

The chemokine system comprises a family of small chemoattractant molecules that have roles in both the healthy and diseased organism. Chemokines act by binding specific receptors on the target cell surface and inducing chemotaxis. The human chemokine system is well characterized, with approximately fifty chemokines identified that fall into four families. The chemokines and their receptors are promiscuous in that...
