Abstract excerpt

Chemokines are a large family of small secreted proteins that regulate migration of white blood cells. Based on the arrangement of the first two of the four conserved cysteine residues, chemokines are classified into four subfamilies, CXC, CC, C and recently identified CX3C. Most of the human genes for the CC chemokines are clustered at chromosome 17q11.2 (Naruse et al., 1996). Previously we identified a novel CC...
