CXCL8 and infection: These cytokines include white cell derived interleukins with pro-inflammatory (IL-2, -6, and -18) and anti-inflammatory (IL-4, -10) activities that serve to regulate immune responses, and the chemokines including C-X-C motif chemokine-8 (CXCL8), keratinocyte chemoattractant-like (KC-Like) and C-C chemokine ligand-2 (CCL2) (22) that act to attract leukocytes to sites of infection or tissue damage (23).
