Molecular Characterization and Chemotactic Function of CXCL8 in Northeast Chinese Lamprey (Lethenteron morii)

Abstract excerpt

Chemokine-induced chemotaxis of leukocytes is an important part of the innate immunity, and has been shown to mediate inflammation in all groups of jawed vertebrates. For jawless vertebrates, hagfish leukocytes are known to show chemotaxis toward mammalian complement anaphylotoxin and Gram negative bacteria lipopolysaccharide (LPS). However, whether chemokines mediate chemotaxis of leukocytes in jawless...
