Chemokines are members of a superfamily of small inducible, secreted, pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Members of the chemokine family exhibit 20 to 50% homology in their predicted amino acid sequences and are divided into four subfamilies.
In C-C (or b) subfamily, the first two cysteines are adjacent.
C-C chemokines are chemoattractants and activators for monocytes and T cells.
C-C subfamily members include macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1a, MIP-1i, MIP-2, MIP-3a, MIP-3i, MIP-4, HCC-1, MIP-5 (or HCC-2), RANTES, MCP-1/2/3 (and the murine homologs JE and MARC), I-309, murine C10 and TCA3.
Research has shown that MIP-1∫ is more selective than MIP-1a, primarily attracting CD4+ T lymphocytes, with a preference for T cells of the naive phenotype.
MIP-1a is a more potent lymphocyte chemoattractant than MIP-1 and exhibits a broader range of chemoattractant specificities.
It has been suggested that CD8+ T lymphocytes are involved in the control of HIV infection in vivo by the release of HIV-suppressive factors (HIV-SF).
MIP-1a has been identified as one of the major HIV-SFs produced by CD8+ T cells, along with MIP-1i and RANTES.
Recombinant human MIP-1a acts as an inhibitor of different strains of HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV infection in a dose-dependent manner.
