CCR7 Controls Thymus Recirculation, but Not Production and Emigration, of Foxp3+ T Cells

Current models of Foxp3+ regulatory T cell (Treg) development involve CCR7-mediated migration of thymocytes into the thymus medulla to enable essential interactions with medullary epithelium. However, increased Foxp3+ thymic Treg numbers in Ccr7−/− mice challenge this view, and the role of CCR7 in T...
