Also, numerous chemokines (e.g., MCP-1, Regulated upon Activation, Normal T cell Expressed, and Secreted (RANTES), C-X-C motif ligand (CXCL)3, CXCL9, CXCL10) and chemokine receptors (CCR) (e.g., CCR1, CCR5 and CCR3) are up-regulated in prion diseases, but their role in the pathology remains unclear since different studies provided conflicting results [7]. The gene discussed is CXCL9; the disease is prion disease.
