MeSH definition : Heparin-binding proteins that exhibit a number of inflammatory and immunoregulatory
activities. Originally identified as secretory products of MACROPHAGES, these chemokines
are produced by a variety of cell types including NEUTROPHILS; FIBROBLASTS; and EPITHELIAL
CELLS. They likely play a significant role in respiratory tract defenses.;
