Expression and regulation of the CXCL9-11 chemokines and CXCR3 receptor in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Abstract excerpt

Chemokines are cytokines that mediate leukocyte traffic between the lymphoid organs, the bloodstream, and the site of tissue damage, which is essential for an efficient immune response. In particular, the gamma interferon (IFN- γ) inducible chemokines CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11, and their receptor CXCR3, are involved in T cell and macrophage recruitment to the site of infection. The nature and function of these...
