Abstract excerpt
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a member of the beta chemokine family which acts through specific seven transmembrane receptors to recruit monocytes, basophils, and T lymphocytes to sites of inflammation. To identify regions of the human MCP-1 protein which are important for its biological activity, we have synthesized domain-specific peptides and tested their ability to antagonize MCP-1 binding and...
