This chemokine is chemotactic for monocytes and can activate these cells in the presence of an inflammatory mediator called prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2). It is also a potent chemoattractant and activator of dendritic cells, is implicated in homing of these cells, and can stimulate the migration of activated NK cells.
This chemokine is attractive to monocytes and can activate these cells in the presence of an inflammatory chemical called prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2). It is also a strong attractant and activator of dendritic cells, involved in guiding these cells, and can stimulate the movement of activated natural killer cells.
