Infection of rhesus (Macaca mulatta) or cynomolgus (Macaca fascicularis) macaques with pathogenic SIV leads to the induction of multiple inflammatory chemokines in lymph nodes and spleen including: CXCL8 [42]; CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 [47-52]; CCL3, CCL4, CCL5 [30, 44, 53]; CCL2 [44]; CCL19 [49, 54]; and CCL20 [55]. This evidence concerns the gene CCL20 and infection.
