CCL2 and bacterial vaginosis: Interestingly, women who tended to experience persistent BV also had significantly lower concentrations of IP-10 (β= -0.999, 95% CI -1.757 – (-0.241); p= 0.011) and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 (β= -0.687, 95% CI -1.331 – (-0.043); p= 0.037) relative to those who cleared BV.
