The expression of MCP-1 regulates migration and infiltration of monocytes, memory T cells, and dendritic cells (Carr et al., 1994, Deshmane et al., 2009), whereas IL-8 recruits neutrophils and other granulocytes to the site of infection and stimulates phagocytosis (Harada et al., 1994). This evidence concerns the gene CCL2 and infection.
