Molecular cloning and functional characterization of human lymphotactin
1 Jul 1995
Abstract excerpt
We describe the isolation of a cDNA that encodes human lymphotactin (Ltn), a new class of lymphocyte-specific chemokine. Human Ltn shows similarity to some members of the C-C chemokine family but has lost the first and third cysteine residues that are characteristic of the C-C and C-X-C chemokines. Ltn is chemotactic for lymphocytes but not for monocytes, a characteristic that makes it unique among chemokines. In...
