... for Th1 cells, such as CCR5, showed a diminished homing into malignant effusions. Methods: We analyzed concentrations of 12 different cytokines and 9 chemokines within malignant and nonmalignant effusions and investigated cytokine expression by effusion-infiltrating leukocytes. Results: We observed...
