Interleukin 8 (IL-8 )(CXCL8) is secreted primarily by macrophages and monocytes. It is one of the key mediators for inflammatory responses. IL-8 is a strong chemotractant for newtrophiles and monoccytes, and promotes activation of these target cells by binding to two cell surface receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. It is also a strong angiogenic agent, and is considered to play a role in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis.
