Antigen Description |
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a chemokine produced by macrophages andother cell types such as epithelial cells. It is also synthesized byendothelial cells, which store IL-8 in their storage vesicles, theWeibel-Palade bodies. In humans, the interleukin-8 protein is encoded by theIL8 gene. |
