What Does CINC Stand For?
CINC stands for Cytokine Induced Neutrophil Chemoattractant
CINC, or Cytokine Induced Neutrophil Chemoattractant, refers to a family of inflammatory proteins that play a crucial role in the immune response by attracting neutrophils to sites of inflammation or infection. These chemokines, produced in response to cytokine signaling, facilitate the migration of neutrophils from the bloodstream to affected tissues, thereby enhancing the body's ability to combat pathogens and promote tissue repair. CINC is significant in understanding various inflammatory diseases and conditions where neutrophil recruitment is a key factor.
