Description
Macrophage inflammatory protein-3beta (MIP-3beta) is a non-glycosylated polypeptide and member of the B-chemokine (C-C) family of cytokines. It plays an important role in the inflammatory response of human T cells and tissue macrophages. MIP-3beta is a potential chemoattractant for endometrial natural killer cells.1 It may be important in trafficking of T cells in thymus, and T cell and B cell migration to secondary lymphoid organs.2
