According to a larger body of data on pulmonary fibrosis, CXCR3 and its ligands CXCL11 (IFN‐inducible T‐cell α‐chemoattractant, I‐TAC)32 and CXCL10 (IFN‐γ‐inducible protein, IP‐10)33 play an important role in bleomycin‐induced lung fibrosis models in mice.34 This evidence concerns the gene CXCL11 and pulmonary fibrosis.
