CCL13 (C-C motif chemokine 13) is a chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils, which belongs to the CC chemokine subfamily. It has been reported that CCL13 can induce chemotactic migration of THP-1 cells. Therefore, chemotaxis assay used 24-well microchemotaxis system was undertaken to detect the chemotactic effect of CCL13 on the human monocytic cell line THP-1. Briefly, THP-1 cells were seeded into the upper chambers (100 microl cell suspension, 1x106 cells/ml in RPMI-1640 with 0. 5% FBS) and CCL13 (50 ng/ml and 100 ng/ml diluted separately in serum free RPMI-1640) was added in lower chamber with a polycarbonate filter (8microm pore size) used to separate the two compartments. After incubation at 37C with 5% CO2 for 3h, the filter was removed, then cells in low chamber were observed by inverted microscope at low magnification (x100) and the number of migrated cells were counted at high magnification (x400) randomly. CCL13 is able to induce migration of THP-1 cells.

C-C motif chemokine 13

This antimicrobial gene is one of several Cys-Cys (CC) cytokine genes clustered on the q-arm of chromosome 17. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene displays chemotactic activity for monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils, but not neutrophils. This chemokine plays a role in accumulation of leukocytes during inflammation. It may also be involved in the recruitment of monocytes into the arterial wall during artherosclerosis.
