NCIt synonyms : CC beta Chemokine; CC Chemokines; C-C Chemokines; Therapeutic Beta Chemokine;
NCIt definition : Formulated therapeutic analogs of one of a number of endogenous chemotactic polypeptide
cytokines. Beta chemokine is synthesized and released by macrophages, endothelial
cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells in response to infection
or tissue damage, recruiting circulating macrophages to sites of production. This
agent may regulate tumor growth by modulating tumor-associated angiogenesis and metastasis
and may either promote or inhibit tumor growth. (NCI04);
