Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated activities are potentially numerous, although in TNF-
deficient (−/−) mice, altered spatial orientation of leukocytes within tissues is the
predominant phenotype. Here, we propose that TNF plays a fundamental role in the control
of leukocyte movement by virtue of a pivotal role in regulation of chemokine expression.
