Conclusions: This is the first demonstration of lymphocyte adhesion supported by a CXC chemokine and suggests that CXCL16 has the ability both to attract and then to retain lymphocytes at epithelial surfaces thereby promoting bile duct damage in inflammatory liver disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
