Interleukin-8
A member of the CXC chemokine family. This chemokine is one of the major mediators of the inflammatory response. This chemokine is secreted by several cell types including monocytes, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes. It functions as a chemoattractant, and is also a potent angiogenic factor. (NCI Thesaurus/LocusLink)
