Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) is a recently identified member of the CC
chemokine family. MDC is not closely related to other chemokines, sharing most similarity
with thymus-and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), which contains 37% identical
amino acids. Both chemokines are highly expressed in the thymus, with little expression
seen in other tissues. In addition, the genes for MDC and TARC are encoded by human
chromosome 16. To explore this relationship in greater detail, we have more precisely …
