Several inflammatory conditions and infectious diseases also comprise the selective eosinophil chemotaxis and transendothelial migration mediated by the CC-chemokines eotaxin-1, eotaxin-2 and eotaxin-3 (CCL11, CCL24, and CCL26, respectively) via the eotaxin receptor CCR3 (Ponath et al., 1996). This evidence concerns the gene CCL26 and infectious disease.
