CXCR4 is dispensable for T cell egress from chronically inflamed skin via the afferent lymph.
T cell recirculation through extralymphoid tissues is essential to immune surveillance, host defense and inflammation. In this process, T cells enter the tissue from the blood and subsequently leave via the afferent lymph. In the absence of inflammation, T cells require CCR7 expression to egress fro...
