The Chemokine CCL2 is Produced By

Question

The chemokine CCL2 is produced by
A) Th2 cells.
B) dendritic cells.
C) basophils.
D) macrophages.

Accepted Answer

CCL2 is primarily produced by macrophages in response to inflammation and infection. While other cell types, such as dendritic cells and basophils, can also produce CCL2 to a lesser extent, macrophages are the main source of this chemokine. Th2 cells, on the other hand, produce a different set of cytokines than chemokines.
