interleukin-8

[‚in·tər¦lük·ən ′āt] (immunology) A group of peptides produced by a variety of cell types, which activate and recruit polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the inflammatory process, and are probably involved in initiation of labor and delivery in pregnant women. Abbreviated IL-8.

interleukin-8

in·ter·leu·kin-8

(in'tĕr-lū'kin), A cytokine derived from endothelial cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, macrophages, and monocytes that causes chemotaxis of neutrophils and T-cell lymphocytes. Synonym(s): anionic neutrophil-activating peptide, monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor, neutrophil chemotactant factor, neutrophil-activating factor

IL8

A gene on chromosome 4q13-q21 that encodes interleukin-8, a cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. IL8 is a major mediator of inflammation, acting as a chemoattractant for neutrophils, basophils and T-cells, and is a potent angiogenic factor.
Molecular pathology
IL8 is a candidate gene for bronchiolitis.

in·ter·leu·kin-8

(in'tĕr-lū'kin) A cytokine derived from endothelial cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, macrophages, and monocytes that causes chemotaxis of neutrophils and T-cell lymphocytes.
Synonym(s): anionic neutrophil-activating peptide, monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor, neutrophil-activating factor.

interleukin-8

A CYTOKINE produced by MONOCYTES that is the substance causing CHEMOTAXIS of T cells and NEUTROPHIL polymorph phagocytes.
