Background

CXCL10, also known as Interferon gamma-induced protein 10 or small-inducible cytokine B10, is a member of the C-X-C chemokine family. CXCL10 is secreted by several cell types in response to IFN-gamma. These cell types include monocytes, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. CXCL10 has been attributed to several roles, such as chemoattraction for monocytes/macrophages, T cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells, promotion of T cell adhesion to endothelial cells, antitumor activity, and inhibition of bone marrow colony formation and angiogenesis. There have been 17 different C-X-C chemokines described in mammals, that are subdivided into two categories, those with a specific amino acid sequence (or motif) of glutamic acid-leucine-arginine (or ELR for short) immediately before the first cysteine of the C-X-C motif (ELR-positive), and those without an ELR motif (ELR-negative) . ELR-positive C-X-C chemokines specifically induce the migration of neutrophils, and interact with chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. C-X-C chemokines that lack the ELR motif are chemoattractant for lymphocytes. CXCL10 elicits its effects by binding to the cell surface chemokine receptor CXCR3.
