However, the mecha- nism responsible for the IEL migration to the inflamed phil infiltrations associated with increased levels of intestine is still unclear. Methods: An in vitro coculture macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 produced by cell system was used to quantify the IEL attraction by an infected IECs.2,3 Other chemokines may act as chemoat- infected intestinal epithelial cell line (m-ICcl2).

Results: We observed increased ex- tract and express chemokine receptors, including CCR2, pression of several chemokine receptors (CCR1, CCR2, CXCR3, CCR5, and CCR9. Some of these receptors are CCR5, CXCR3) in the infected ileum.
