Palchevsky et al. [29] showed in lung biopsies from sarcoidosis patients that different chemokines (CCL2, CCL5) and chemokine receptors (CCR2, CCR5) were found in different cell types creating the sarcoid lung granulomas, regardless of the radiologic stage of the sarcoidosis and whether or not alveolitis was present. This evidence concerns the gene CCR5 and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
