Although chemokines have been implicated in cardiovascular diseases, few studies have addressed the role of these inflammatory mediators in ischemic stroke. This study tested the hypothesis that RANTES (CCL5; regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted) mediates the cerebral microvascular dysfunction, inflammation, and tissue injury induced by brain ischemia and reperfusion.
