<P> While neutrophil granulocytes are the primary target cells of IL - 8 , there are a relatively wide range of cells ( endothelial cells , macrophages , mast cells , and keratinocytes ) that respond to this chemokine . The chemoattractant activity of IL - 8 in similar concentrations to vertebrates was proven in Tetrahymena pyriformis , which suggests a phylogenetically well - conserved structure and function for this chemokine . </P>
