Abstract
Interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-induced protein 10 (IP-10 or CXCL-10) is a chemokine involved in trafficking immune cells to inflammatory sites. Numerous studies have reported abnormally high plasma IP-10 levels in the context of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and IP-10 is considered an important pro-inflammatory factor in the HIV disease process. The data regarding the roles of IP-10 in HIV infection required collation; this review summarizes the biological characteristics of IP-10, the positive association between plasma IP-10 levels and HIV disease progression, the effect of IP-10 on human immune cells, and potential related mechanisms. This review provides important insights into the role of IP-10 in HIV monitoring and treatment.
