Skin CD4+ memory T cells exhibit combined cluster-mediated retention and equilibration with the circulation

Memory T cells are vital responders to skin inflammation, but cell localization and dynamics of exchange with the bloodstream are not clear. Here the authors use parabiosis and intravital microscopy to show that CD4+memory T cells equilibrate with the circulation and cluster around hair follicles in...

Description
Summary:Memory T cells are vital responders to skin inflammation, but cell localization and dynamics of exchange with the bloodstream are not clear. Here the authors use parabiosis and intravital microscopy to show that CD4+memory T cells equilibrate with the circulation and cluster around hair follicles in response to CCL5-dependent responses to viral infection or contact sensitization.
