T lymphocytes are involved in a great variety of inflammatory and infectious responses. However, the mechanisms by which 
T lymphocytes migrate to inflamed sites are poorly understood. In this study we investigate the role of monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 in regulating 
T cell migration after LPS or Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) challenge. LPS-induced 
T cell influx was significantly inhibited by either pretreatment with dexamethasone or vaccinia virus Lister 35-kDa chemokine binding protein, vCKBP, a CC chemokine neutralizing protein, suggesting a role for CC chemokines in this phenomenon. LPS stimulation increased the expression of MCP-1 mRNA and protein at the inflammation site within 6 h. It is noteworthy that LPS was unable to increase MCP-1 production or 
T cell recruitment in C3H/HeJ, indicative of the involvement of Toll-like receptor 4. 
T cells express MCP-1 receptor CCR2. Pretreatment with anti-MCP-1 mAb drastically inhibited LPS-induced in vivo 
T cell mobilization. Indeed, MCP-1 knockout mice were unable to recruit 
T cells to the pleural cavity after LPS stimulation, effect that could be restored by coadministration of MCP-1. In addition, BCG-induced 
lymphocyte accumulation was significantly reduced in MCP-1 knockout mice when compared with wild-type mice. In conclusion, our results indicate that LPS-induced 
T lymphocyte migration is dependent on Toll-like receptor 4 and sensitive to both dexamethasone and CC chemokine-binding protein inhibition. Moreover, by using MCP-1 neutralizing Abs and genetically deficient mice we show that LPS- and BCG-induced 
T lymphocyte influx to the pleural cavity of mice is mainly orchestrated by the CC chemokine MCP-1.
