The past few years have seen significant growth in the number of known chemokines. Along
with expansion in this field has come an appreciation of a role for chemokines beyond the
chemotaxis of leukocytes. In particular, it appears that these molecules may represent major
products of activated lymphocytes and that, in addition to chemotaxis, some of them may
also regulate the growth, activation, and differentiation of lymphocytes.
