Several blood molecules have been investigated in human studies as potential biomarkers of atopic dermatitis, including TARC/CCL17, macrophage-derived chemokine, IL-22, pulmonary and activation-regulated chemokine, sIL-2R, soluble E-selectin, C-reactive protein, and IL-16 [62,63]. The gene discussed is CCL18; the disease is atopic eczema.
