The chemokines, CXCL1, CXCL2, IL-8 and CXCL10/IP-10, promote inflammation and antiviral response by the recruitment and activation of neutrophils (60–63), while G-CSF promotes neutrophil expansion and egress from the bone marrow to the bloodstream, resulting in the accumulation of neutrophils at the infection site (64). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and infection.
