Cytokines regulate the expression of the thymus and activation‐regulated chemokine (TARC; CCL17) in human skin fibroblast cells

s Allergic inflammation is thought to be a Th2 cell‐dominant immune response during which tissue‐resident fibroblasts produce chemokines which contribute to the recruitment of migratory leukocytes to sites of tissue injury. Thymus and activation‐regulated chemokine (TARC; CCL17) is a potent member of the CC chemokine family and a selective chemoattractant for Th2 cells. In order to study the regulatory profiles of TARC production by TNF‐α,...
