The role of interleukin-8 in inflammatory responses of fish

Interleukin-8, a novel chemotactic cytokine, has been shown to play an important role in activation and recruitment of neutrophils, and thus acts as a traffic controller. This study builds upon the breakthrough in cloning several fish cytokine genes including IL-8. The predicted rainbow trout Oncorh...
