Also called CXCL8, IL8 is a chemokine mainly produced by macrophages, T cells, and neutrophils. IL8 acts as a chemoattractant neutrophils, and promotes infiltration and activation at inflammation sites. IL8 is involved in several cancer types due to its ability to promote angiogenesis and cell proliferation, as well as to inhibit apoptosis.
