Abstract:
Chemokines help facilitate the recruitment of inflammatory cells into tissues in response to infection or inflammation, and help coordinate the actions of the leukocytes that underlie an immune response. Animal models are the experimental tools of choice for the validation of chemokine biology and have provided much insight into the workings of chemokine biology. This review summarizes findings from chemokine research obtained through the application of animal models of pulmonary fibrosis, graft-versus-host disease, colitis, renal disease and allograft rejection.

Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the exudate's...
