Background
|
Relevance: Chemotactic factor that attracts lymphocytes but not monocytes or granulocytes. May be involved in B-cell migration into B-cell follicles in lymph nodes. Attracts naive T-lymphocytes toward dendritic cells and activated macrophages in lymph nodes, has chemotactic activity for naive T-cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells and thus may play a role in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity responses. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11745396, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11978786}. Synonyms: Alternative macrophage activation-associated CC chemokine 1, CC chemokine PARC, Dendritic cell chemokine 1, DC-CK1, Macrophage inflammatory protein 4
