These findings provide evidence that CCR2 and MCP-3/MCP-1 are critical for monocyte mobilization and suggest new roles for monocyte chemoattractants in leukocyte homeostasis.

Objective To investigate the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1(MCP 1) in viral myocarditis (VMC) induced by coxsackievirus Group B Type 3 (CVB3).

Purpose To investigate the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP?1) in viral myocarditis (VMC) induced by coxsackievirus group B type 3 (CVB3) and its mechanism in pathogenesis of VMC.
