Table 1. Specific chemokines that attract the major cell populations involved in the allergic response.

Infiltrating leucocyte	Chemokine
Eosinophils	Eotaxin-1, -2, -3; RANTES, MCP-3, -4;″MIP-1α
Activated T cells	RANTES; MCP-1, -3, -4; SDF-1α; MIP-1α
Th2 cells	MDC; TARC; I-309; Eotaxin
Monocytes	MCP-1, -2, -3, -4; RANTES; MDC;″TARC; MIP-1α

MCP, monocyte chemoattractant protein; MDC, macrophage-derived chemokine; MIP, macrophage inflammatory protein; RANTES, regulated upon activation, normal, T-cell expressed, and secreted; SDF-1, stromal-cell-derived factor 1; TARC, thymus and activation-regulated chemokine; Th, T helper.
