To better elucidate the pathogenesis of lymphocyte recruitment of memory CD4(+) T cells in inflammatory myopathies, we studied the expression of CCR5 and CCR7 on CD4 memory T cells in muscle tissue from 11 patients with juvenile dermatomyositis, six adult patients with polymyositis, two patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and two patients with spinal muscular atrophy.
