GlossaryCXCL9 (Monokine induced by gamma interferon)

chemokine that attracts immune cells to inflammation sites

CXCL9, also known as Monokine Induced by Gamma Interferon (MIG), is a type of chemokine—a small signaling protein involved in the immune response. It plays a crucial role in attracting immune cells, particularly T-cells, to sites of inflammation or infection. This chemokine is often studied in the context of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory conditions, including alopecia areata, where it can contribute to the immune system's attack on hair follicles.
