CC chemokine receptor (CCR) 9, the receptor for the CC-chemokine
CCL25/thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK), is mainly expressed by
thymocytes and by intraepithelial (IEL) and lamina propria lymphocytes
of the small intestine. To study the biologic role of CCR9, a mouse
strain was generated in which the CCR9 gene was deleted. In spite of
the high level of CCR9 found in double- and single-positive thymocytes
and of the expression of its corresponding ligand on thymic stromal
cells, CCR9 deletion had no major effect on intrathymic T-cell
development. It was noted that there was only a one-day lag in the
appearance of double-positive cells during fetal ontogeny in
CCR9 / thymi. When tested in chemotaxis assay,
thymocytes isolated from CCR9 / mice failed to respond
to TECK/CCL25. Taken together, these results suggest that in
thymocytes, CCR9 is the only physiologic receptor for TECK/CCL25, and
that it is dispensable for proper T-cell development. Bone
marrow pre-pro-B cells migrate in response to TECK/CCL25, but more
mature B cells do not. Consistent with this observation, it was shown
that there are fewer pre-pro-B cells in CCR9 /
mice than in wild-type mice. However, this diminution does not appear to have a detectable effect on the generation of a normal complement of mature B cells. Finally, it was shown that in the small
intestine of CCR9-deficient mice, the intraepithelial
T-cell-to-epithelial cell ratio is decreased, an observation
that can be accounted for by a marked diminution of the T-cell
receptor  + compartment.
