CCL2 is a chemokine that attracts basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and dendritic cells to the site of inflammation. It also stimulates the production of inflammatory mediators, contributing to the overall inflammatory response. Additionally, CCL2 can also play a role in organizing an antigen-specific immune response by recruiting immune cells to the site of infection or injury.
