IP10 Antibody / CXCL10

C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10), also known as Interferon gamma-induced protein 10 kDa (IP10) or small-inducible cytokine B10, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CXCL10 gene. It is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. The gene for CXCL10 is located on human chromosome 4 in a cluster among several other CXC chemokines. Luster et al. (1987) reported the isolation of an interferon-inducible gene that encodes a 98-amino acid protein called IP10. The chemokine IFN-gamma-inducible protein 10, a CXC chemokine, and its receptor, CXCR3, were found to be overexpressed in lymph node cells of EAMG rats. IP10 inhibits bone marrow colony formation, has antitumor activity in vivo, is a chemoattractant for human monocytes and T cells, and promotes T cell adhesion to endothelial cells.
