- Abstract
The article discusses the history of the discovery of interleukin-8 (IL-8), also known as CXCL8. Topics discussed include the isolation of neutrophil chemotactic activity from interleukin-1 (IL-1) activity, the role of the protein monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor (MDNCF) as a chemoattractant with target cell specificity which became IL-8, and the amino acid sequence of IL-8.
