The important role of chemokines is to attract leukocytes to sites of infection/inflammation and has been reported that chemokines CXCL2 and CXCL3 are increased in the herpes virus, arenavirus, and rhabdovirus (Melchjorsen, Sørensen & Paludan, 2003) and thus targeting CXCL2/3 could be an effective therapeutic target during viral infection. The gene discussed is CXCL2; the disease is infection.
