Role of CCL2/MCP-1 in Islet Transplantation
High levels of donor-derived CCL2 have been associated with poor islet allograft outcome in patients with type 1 diabetes. The aim of our work was to determine whether CCL2 secreted by the islet has independent proinflammatory effects that influence engraftment and graft acceptance. Both in mice and...
