Preferred Label : Recombinant Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 Alpha;
NCIt synonyms : LD78 alpha (e); CCL3; MIP-1 Alpha; LD78; MIP-1a; Therapeutic Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 Alpha;
NCIt definition : A recombinant therapeutic agent which is chemically identical to or similar to endogenous
macrophage inflammatory protein-1, a member of the CC chemokine family produced by
activated macrophages. Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha activates granulocytes
and induces pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis. The addition of macrophage inflammatory
protein-1 alpha to a vaccine consisting of a DNA immunogen or a pro-inflammatory peptide
may enhance vaccine-induced host immune anti-tumor responses. (NCI04);
