a Chemokines are divided into subfamilies that bind to different classes of receptor expressed on their target cells. Abbreviations: act T, activated T cell; B, B cell; Ba, basophil; D, dendritic cell; E, eosinophil; imm D, immature dendritic cell; M, monocyte; N, neutrophil; NK, natural killer cell; T, T cell; Th1, T helper 1 cell; thy, thymocyte; BLC, B lymphocyte chemokine; C-TACK, cutaneous T-cell-activating chemokine; ELC (Ebl-1), EBL-1-ligand chemokine; ENA-78, epithelial-cell-derived neutrophil-activating protein 78; GCP-2, granulocyte chemotactic protein 2; GRO, growth-related oncogene; I-309, (a nameless human chemokine); IL-8, interleukin 8; ITAC, interferon-inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant; LIX, lipopolysaccharide-induced CXC chemokine; LARC, liver- and activation-regulated chemokine; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; MDC, macrophage-derived chemokine; MIG, monokine induced by interferon g; MIP, macrophage inflammatory protein; MPIF-1, myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor 1; NAP-2, neutrophil-activating peptide 2; RANTES, ‘regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted’; SDF-1, stromal-cell-derived factor 1; SLC, secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine; TARC, thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine; TECK, thymus-expressed chemokine.
