Chemokine Protocols

In the past decade research has established the biological importance of chemokines: they play a major role in leukocyte trafficking, in the recruitment of leukocytes to inflammatory sites, and are coreceptors along with CD4 for HIV cell entry. In Chemokine Protocols, expert investigators describe i...
