Interleukin-8 (IL-8), Plasma details
What Interleukin-8 (IL-8), Plasma shows
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a signaling protein (cytokine) that plays a specific role in recruiting certain white blood cells (neutrophils) to sites of infection or tissue injury as part of the inflammatory response. It's measured in plasma as part of broader inflammatory panels, sometimes used in research or specialized clinical contexts examining chronic inflammatory conditions, though it isn't a routine standalone diagnostic marker for a specific disease in mainstream practice.
