CCL4 is a major HIV-suppressive factor produced by CD8+ T cells.[3]
Perforin-low memory CD8+ T cells that normally synthesize MIP-1-beta.[4]
CCL4 is produced by: monocytes, B cells, T cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells.[5]
Concentration of this chemokine has been shown to be inversely related with MicroRNA-125b. Concentration of CCL4 within the body increases with age, which may cause chronic inflammation and liver damage.[5][6]
