  • CXCL10 molecular target review


    Chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10), also known as interferon-γ-induced protein 10 (IP-10) or micro-induced cytokine B10, is a small molecular weight cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. IP-10 can be secreted by various types of cells in response to IFN-γ, including monocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. IP-10 has multiple functions, such as chemotaxis of monocytes/macrophages, T cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells, promotion of T cell adhesion to endothelial cells, anti-tumor activity, and inhibition of bone marrow colony formation and angiogenesis.
