Site-directed mutagenesis of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 identifies two regions of the polypeptide essential for biological activity
15 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) mediates monocyte migration into tissues in inflammatory diseases and atherosclerosis. We have investigated structure-activity relationships for human MCP-1. Mutations were introduced based upon differences between MCP-1 and the structurally related but functionally distinct molecule interleukin-8 (IL-8). Mutant proteins produced using the baculovirus/insect cell...
