Chemokines and myeloid cell recruitment

Microbes Infect. 2000 Mar;2(3):331-6. doi: 10.1016/s1286-4579(00)00293-8.

Abstract

Chemokine-chemokine receptor interactions mediate constitutive leukocyte trafficking and leukocyte recruitment to sites of infection and inflammation. We suggest that a multiplicity of leukocyte chemoattractants exists to increase the selectivity of leukocyte recruitment in a range of physiological and pathological settings.
