Additionally in B-CLL, the interaction between CXCR5 (expressed at high levels in B-CLL, but not T-ALL cells) and its ligand CXCL13 (produced by resident stromal cells) is responsible for recruiting leukemic cells to lymphoid organs and possibly orchestrates the establishment and maintenance of proliferation centers (pseudofollicles) within these tissues (102). Here, CXCR5 is linked to B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
