Description
CCL3, also known as Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha), is a proinflammatory chemokine that stimulates chemotaxis and activation of different cell populations of the immune system. CCL3 binds to CCR1, CCR4, and CCR5 receptors, and it is one of the major HIVsuppressive factors produced by CD8+ T-cells. CCL3 induces dose-dependent inhibition of different strains of HIV-1, HIV-2, and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)
