Let’s explore “CCL2 / MCP-1”

CCL2 encodes MCP-1, a chemokine that attracts monocytes toward sites of immune activity. Recruitment is a different task from the cytokines that activate those cells once they arrive.

Explore monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, CCR2, monocytes, macrophages, and immune-cell recruitment into tissues.
