Recombinant Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 Alpha
A recombinant therapeutic agent which is chemically identical to or similar to endogenous macrophage inflammatory protein-1, a member of the CC chemokine family produced by activated macrophages. Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha activates granulocytes and induces pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis. The addition of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha to a vaccine consisting of a DNA immunogen or a pro-inflammatory peptide may enhance vaccine-induced host immune anti-tumor responses.
