| chemokines, cc | Group of chemokines with adjacent cysteines that are chemoattractants for lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils but not neutrophils. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemokines, cxc | Group of chemokines with paired cysteines separated by a different amino acid. Cxc chemokines are chemoattractants for neutrophils but not monocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemokines | Class of pro-inflammatory cytokines that have the ability to attract and activate leukocytes. They can be divided into at least three structural branches: c (chemokines, c), cc (chemokines, cc), and cxc (chemokines, cxc), according to variations in a shared cysteine motif. (12 Dec 1998) |
