Disease relevance of Ccl8

Recent evidence suggests an important role for MCP- 1, MCP-2 and MCP-3 in a number of pathological states, including delayed type hypersensitivity conditions, parasitic infections and rheumatoid arthritis [1].

High impact information on Ccl8

Furthermore, MIP-1beta- and MCP-2-producing cells and CD4(+) T cells were found to be in close association in pulmonary lesions [2].
