Animal studies by Heesch and colleagues on Listeria infection and monocytic proliferation confirmed that LSECs induce the recruitment of CD8+ T lymphocytes in the liver by expressing CXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16), which attracts T cells expressing CXC chemokine receptor 6 (CXCR6) [66]. This evidence concerns the gene CXCL16 and listeriosis.
