Macrophage Inflammatory Proteins (MIP) belong to the family of chemotactic cytokines known as chemokines. Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1), MIP-1 alpha CCL3 and MIP-1 beta CCL4 are chemokines crucial for immune responses towards infection and inflammation.[3] In humans, there are two major forms, MIP-1α and MIP-1β that are now officially named (CCL3) and (CCL4) respectively. Both are major factors produced by macrophages after they are stimulated with bacterial endotoxins.[4] They activate human granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils) which can lead to acute neutrophilic inflammation. They also induce the synthesis and release of other pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL-6 and TNF-α from fibroblasts and macrophages. The genes for CCL3 and CCL4 are both located on human chromosome 17.[5]

They are produced by many cells, particularly macrophages, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes.[6] MIP-1 are best known for their chemotactic and proinflammatory effects but can also promote homoeostasis.[6] Biophysical analyses and mathematical modelling has shown that MIP-1 reversibly forms a polydisperse distribution of rod-shaped polymers in solution. Polymerization buries receptor-binding sites of MIP-1, thus depolymerization mutations enhance MIP-1 to arrest monocytes onto activated human endothelium.[3]
