Role of the monocyte chemoattractant protein and eotaxin subfamily of chemokines in allergic inflammation
1 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
Allergic inflammation is characterized by the tissue accumulation and activation of leukocytes rich in eosinophils. During these responses, there is marked induction of specific chemokines that are involved in regulating the recruitment and activation of these inflammatory cells. A subfamily of CC (or beta) chemokines composed of macrophage chemoattractant proteins (MCP) and eotaxin have emerged as cytokines...
