Tumours secrete many lymphocyte-attracting chemokines. Here the authors show that despite the abundance of their ligands, CCR2 and CCR5 do not mediate trafficking of effector CD8 T cells into the tumour, whereas CXCR3 is essential for this process and for T-cell-based elimination of melanoma in mice.
