abbr. MCP-1 (a term with multiple meanings). This protein has been isolated from rabbit polymorphonuclear cells and alveolar macrophages. It is identical with rabbit MCP-1 [microbicidal cationic protein-1] (Selsted et al, 1983, 1985). Thus it corresponds to rabbit Alpha-Defensin NP-1 [neutrophil peptide-1] (Ganz et al, 1989).
