Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CCL4

  • CC chemokine ligand (CCL)2, CCL3 and CCL4 levels were measured in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of 18 nonsmoker control subjects and 17 patients affected by IPF [39].
  • A significant difference was observed in MIP-1-beta levels in BALF of chronic bronchitics (8.11+/-5.97 pg x mL(-1)) compared to smoker (3.57+/-2.90 pg x mL(-1), p=0.018), exsmoker (3.43+/-0.68 pg x mL(-1), p=0.025) and nonsmoker (3.39+/-3.73 pg x mL(-1), p=0.008) control groups [40].
  • PCR primers were designed from two genomic GenBank entries to conduct single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis, sequence analysis, and PCR-RFLP, and we conclude that previously isolated clones referred to as MIP-1beta are derived from two genes, originally called ACT-2 and LAG-1 [41].
  • We used immunoassays and bioassays to assess the presence and function of MIP-1 beta using samples obtained from 62 arthritic patients [26].
  • Real-time PCR and conventional RT-PCR revealed significant up-regulation of transcript levels of the trout CCL4-like mRNA in LPS-stimulated in vitro differentiated macrophages [42].
