However hamster chemokines, including IFN γ induced protein 10 (IP-10), macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1(MCP-1), were quantifiable with this assay (i.e., provided measurable values within the dynamic range of the assay) and demonstrated increased levels of detection throughout the course of infection (Figure 8). The gene discussed is CCL2; the disease is infection.
