Abstract:
Interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10),also known as chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10(CXCL10),belongs to the CXC subfamily.IP-10 exerts its function by binding to chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 or Toll-like receptor 4.IP-10 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of autoimmune diseases.The expression of IP-10 in blood and body fluid is closely associated with the activity of autoimmune disease.IP-10 is expected to become a potential new marker and possess a significant application value in early screening,condition monitoring and therapeutic evaluation of autoimmune diseases.
