Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a cytokine, any of a group of proteins that function to control the survival, growth and differentiation of tissues and cells, and which have autocrine and paracrine activity. Combining with a cytokine to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with a C-X-C chemokine to initiate a change in cell activity. A C-X-C chemokine has a single amino acid between the first two cysteines of the characteristic four cysteine motif. Combining with chemokines, small chemoattractant molecules normally used to stimulate leukocytes, to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with interleukin-8 to initiate a change in cell activity. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with interleukin-8. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a C-X-C chemokine; C-X-C chemokines have a single amino acid between the first two cysteines of the characteristic four cysteine motif. Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity, and spanning to the membrane of either the cell or an organelle.
