Responses of primary CD4+ T cells to chemokine ligands in the context of altered T-bet levels. (A-C) Transmigration of CD4+ T cells in response to recombinant chemokine in the lower chamber of a transwell. (A-B) Chemotaxis of WT, T-bet–/–, and T-bet–/– × IFN-γ–/– T cells to recombinant chemokines. (A) Chemotactic response to CXCL11 (I-TAC, 100 nM). □ indicates WT; ▪, T-bet –/–; ▦, T-bet–/–/IFN-γ–/–.(B) Chemotactic response to CCL4 (MIP-1β, 10 nM). □ indicates WT; ▪, T-bet–/–; ▦, T-bet–/–/IFN-γ–/–. (C) Chemotaxis of retrovirally transduced T-bet (or empty vector control) into T-bet–/– and T-bet–/– × IFN-γ–/– T cells to CXCR3 ligands, CXCL11 (100 nM), and CXCL10 (IP-10, 100 nM). □ indicates empty virus; ▪, T-bet–/–; ▦, T-bet–/–/IFN-γ–/–. (D) Attachment of WT and T-bet–/– T cells to unstimulated endothelial cells under shear flow in the absence or presence of CXCL10 (40 ng/mL) (mean ± SEM). □ indicates control; ▪, CXCL10. **P < .05.
