Afferent lymph and lymph borne cells: their influence on lymph node function
MT Drayson, WL Ford - Immunobiology, 1984 - Elsevier
In AO rats the afferent lymphatics to the right cervical lymph nodes (LN) were interrupted and
the LN were encased in silicone rubber tubes to prevent reunion of the lymphatics. At
regular intervals over the next 12 weeks the following were measured in comparison with
the intact contralateral LN-LN weight, influx of lymphocytes from the blood, blood flow, the
incorporation of 125 IUDR and the incorporation of 35 S-sulphate into high endothelial
venules (HEV). Systematic histological observations are also reported. One day after …
