Abstract:We have previously shown that CX3CR1+ renal DC sample antigen via intravascular processes in the context of systemic infection and immune complex disease. Here, we investigated the role of intravascular DC processes in antigen presentation and effector T cell migration to the kidney.
To investigate T cell migration, CFP-OVA E. coli and CD8+ DsRed+ OT-I effector T cells, pretreated with Pertussis toxin (PTX), were i.v. injected into CX3CR1gfp/+ mice 24h before 2P intravital microscopy (2PIM) of t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
