Over the past ten years, numerous chemokines have been identified as attractants of
different types of blood leukocytes to sites of infection and inflammation. They are produced
locally in the tissues and act on leukocytes through selective receptors. Chemokines are
now known to also function as regulatory molecules in leukocyte maturation, traffic and
homing of lymphocytes, and the development of lymphoid tissues.
