Chemokines are strongly implicated in directing the migration of these cells although little is known regarding the chemokine receptors that could mediate their chemotaxis into the joint tissue. Therefore the objective of the study was to identify chemokine binding sites on macrophages and neutrophils within the rheumatoid synovium using radiolabeled ligand binding and in situ autoradiography. Specific binding sites for CCL3 macrophage inflammatory protein-1a CCL5 RANTES CCL2 monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and CXCL8 IL-8 were demonstrated on CD68 macrophages in the subintimal and intimal layers. The number and percentage of intimal cells that bound chemokines were greater in inflamed regions compared to noninflamed regions. The intensity of intimal binding varied between chemokines with the rank order CCL3 CCL5 CCL2 CXCL8. Neutrophils throughout the synovium bound CXCL8 but did not show any signal for binding CCL2 CCL3 or CCL5. .
