Increase in Hepatic NKT Cells in Leukocyte Cell-Derived Chemotaxin 2-Deficient Mice Contributes to Severe Concanavalin A-Induced Hepatitis
Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) was originally identified for its possible chemotactic activity against human neutrophils in vitro. It is a 16-kDa protein that is preferentially expressed in the liver. Its homologues have been widely identified in many vertebrates. Current evidence sugge...
