Relationship Between lntedeukin-8 and Human Cytomegalovirus Infection-Related Atherosclerosis / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Studies have suggested that human cytomegalovirus-activated infection is closely associated with atherosclerosis. The levels of interleukin-8 increase significantly in human cyto-megalovirus infection-related atherosclerosis, inducing and aggravating inflammatory reaction through the chemokine receptors, and thus plays an important role in the process of atherosclerosis.
